Bands

Minimal Behavioral Dysregulation

Expressions activating this band mention potentially serious behaviors or related life events in a detached, screening-style, or low-activation way, without conveying a clear pattern of ongoing loss of behavioral control. The content often reads as broad behavioral history or problem-checking rather than active dysregulated conduct.

Moderate Behavioral Dysregulation

Expressions activating this band describe recognizable problems with self-control or conduct, such as loss of interest, reduced confidence, heavy drinking episodes, fighting, aggression, or involvement with counselling or legal consequences. The behavior is presented as recurrent or consequential enough to indicate meaningful disruption in regulation.

High Behavioral Dysregulation

Expressions activating this band describe frequent, active failures of behavioral and attentional control, including drunkenness, rudeness, temper loss, talking back, interrupting, forgetfulness, distractibility, and difficulty following instructions. The pattern is one of persistent impulsive, disruptive, and poorly regulated behavior in everyday settings.
