Temper Dysregulation in Children
High emotional reactivity, high temper, emotional over-reactivity and affective lability. Now there’s a mouthful! What did I just say? The interpretation of this new proposed disorder for the DSM-V is basically for children who can’t control their temper (you probably know someone like this in your life), and because of the way their anger spills out into their lives, they suffer from depression. It will be characterized by persistent negative mood with bursts of rage. So this new disorder will be known as “Temper Dysregulation with dysphoria,” or something like that, in the DSM V.

The first sentence reads like something out of my school psychology reports, I had disruptive bursts of rage (meltdowns I guess) in school until I was about 16. I was also very depressed.
Anyway, I am probably self dxing again and it doesn't matter now since I am an adult, but I didn't know about this new dx until today... interesting!
I wonder what kind of treatment kids like this are getting nowadays, I wasn't treated back then and I wish I was.
