He wakes up mad at the world and goes to sleep that way. If anything goes wrong, he has a tantrum like a baby. I ran out of milk, and he punched a hole in the wall.” Alan’s behavior at school is equally out of proportion to the stimuli. His homeroom teacher states, “Alan comes to school mad, it seems.

Using the DSM-5-TR, you diagnose the client with what disorder?
