Temper tantrums, epilepsy and episodic dyscontrol

J Leicester

Seventeen patients were seen by a neurologist for diagnosis of temper tantrums. The referring psychiatrist had thought that they might have been caused by organic disease, either epilepsy or the episodic dyscontrol syndrome. The final diagnosis in every case was temper tantrums due to psychological causes. The patients had a wide range of psychiatric disorders. Theories that might explain the tantrums are discussed.
