Mood dysregulation

Emotional dysregulation is an inability to control or regulate one's emotional responses, which can lead to significant mood swings, significant changes in mood, or emotional lability.

Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a mental health condition that causes chronic, intense irritability and frequent anger outbursts in children.

Emotional dysregulation is a term used to describe an inappropriate and or poorly regulated reaction that falls outside the norms of acceptable emotional responses. This includes those who struggle to keep their emotional reactions controlled. Emotional dysregulation can also include a fluctuation in mood and mood swings.

While it is crucial for those with ADHD to build skills to handle intense emotions, the goal is not to eliminate emotions or avoid dealing with difficult feelings entirely. Rather, the aim is to develop a healthier relationship with one's emotions so they can be expressed and processed adaptively, rather than allowing them to control one's behaviors and choices.
