"Temper Dysfunctional Disorder with Dysphoria."
- WHAT A MOUTHFUL! - sounds as if a committee have added a keyword at each stage!
- WHAT'S IN A NAME ?-
A LOAD OF DYSFUNCTIONAL SUBJECTIVE PSEUDO SCIENTIFIC UTTER RUBBISH -
THAT'S WHAT!!(Says Dave Traxson 2011)
DANGER !!
All of a sudden, it seems, millions of American children are said to be afflicted with mental illnesses. And they're being put on strong medications- over periods of years- as treatment. Isn't it time we stopped and looked at what the mental health establishment is getting us to do to our children? –Gary Null PhD

I could probably just stop at the name and you would see how wrong this is. This is for a tiny slice of childhood (you have to be between ages 6 and 10 to receive this disorder; what happens if, at age 11, you still have the symptoms is a mystery). It is characterized by “temper outbursts are manifest verbally and/or behaviourally, such as in the form of verbal rages, or physical aggression towards people or property.” So, in other words, a temper tantrum. Something children have been doing for centuries is apparently now a serious enough problem to warrant its own disorder?
No, I don’t think so.
"A TEMPER TANTRUM IS AN AGES OLD METHOD OF COMMUNICATING FRUSTRATION BY A YOUNG CHILD.FROM A DEVELOPMENTAL PERSPECTIVE - IT IS AN EXPERIMENTAL AND CREATIVE WAY OF BEHAVING, TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL OVER THEIR WORLD THAT THE CHILD THEMSELVES MODIFIES OVER TIME WITH THE CARING SUPPORT OF WELL INTENTIONED ADULTS."
