Abstract	Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is one of the new child and adolescent diagnoses introduced in the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (5th ed.; DSM-5). DMDD is characterized by chronic, severe, and persistent irritability (APA, 2013) and was introduced for the purpose of helping to address challenges and disagreements regarding the diagnosis of bipolar disorder in youth. As a new disorder, and with the research regarding severe mood and behavioral dysregulation (SMD) unable to be utilized, prevalence estimates of DMDD remain to be determined. It is anticipated that these "naughty, grumpy" children and adolescents will be common referrals to mental health clinics. As with all disorders, significant impairment must exist in several settings. Due to the nature of the dysregulated mood and extremely low frustration tolerance, it is anticipated that functional impairment will be quite apparent in school settings. In other words, these "naughty, grumpy" children will likely be on the radar of school psychologists. It will be intriguing to see how quickly the assignment of DMDD catches on. There will more than likely be a lag in the community (and community-based clinicians) becoming aware of, accepting, and diagnosing this disorder; therefore, it might be up to knowledgeable school-based mental health practitioners to bring awareness of these children to clinical entities.
