The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of utilizing an
adapted form (i.e. IPT-MBD) of a psychosocial intervention, Interpersonal Psychotherapy for
Depressed Adolescents, for youth with severe mood dysregulation (SMD) or disruptive mood
dysregulation disorder (DMDD).
The investigators hypothesize that retention rates will be >80%, satisfaction scores will
average 6 (high) on a 7 point satisfaction scale, and that youth who receive the IPT
intervention will have overall improvement in SMD/DMDD symptoms.

Primary | Retention rate | To describe/assess feasibility of IPT-MBD, investigators will look at ease of recruitment and retention rate goal of at least 80%. Investigators will collect data on the number of subjects recruited, enrolled, and who followed the protocol for 24 weeks. Investigators will comment on adherence to the overall study, as well as to specific treatment visits. | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Clinical Global Impressions Scale for SMD/DMDD (CGI-SMD/DMDD) | Investigators will utilize the Clinical Global Impressions Scale for Global Improvement (CGI-I) and Severity of Illness (CGI-S) to measure improvement in SMD/DMDD symptoms and to assess the effectiveness of IPT-MBD on the severity of SMD/DMDD symptoms in youth with SMD/DMDD. | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Satisfaction | To assess the feasibility and acceptability of a 24-week psychosocial treatment intervention for youth with SMD/DMDD, investigators will compare satisfaction questionnaires between treatment arms. | 24 weeks |
