Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder is primarily characterized by chronic, severe, and persistent irritability that manifests in temper outbursts and/or persistent irritable and angry moods amongst children and adolescents. These symptoms are present in a non-episodic format and are consistently present in the individual as opposed to going through episodic bouts of anger and irritability.

DSM-5-TR

Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder

Major depressive disorder is a type of depressive disorder characterized by distinct episodes involving deep sadness and a loss of interest or enjoyment in previously pleasurable activities, among other related symptoms.

Major Depressive Disorder

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder or PMDD is categorized as a mood disorder. It is marked by a slew of symptoms that occur the week prior to the start of menses. Its existence as a disorder and its inclusion in the DSM is highly controversial. 

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder

A disorder that occurs when a specific substance causes depressed mood or markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities due to its physiological effects. 

Substance/Medication-Induced Depressive Disorder

Complications from pre-existing conditions like chronic illness can lead to the development of a Depressive Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition, which is a prominent and persistent period of low mood and interest. 

Depressive Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition

Persistent depressive disorder, also known as dysthymia, is a depressive disorder identified by a long-term, chronic state of sadness.
