What would a developmental psychologist say about a young adult woman who throws a temper tantrum?

Tantrums are not developmentally normal for young adults.

Explanation:

When we hear the words tantrum, most of us imagine a 2 or 3 year old child lying on the floor, screaming and kicking. However, adults can also tantrum, although this is not normal. Sometimes emotions overflow and we are unable to translate into words the frustration, envy and disappointment we experience.

In adults, tantrums can result in physical aggression, kicking, striking or bite. Also, in many cases, they may even go unnoticed in their nearest surroundings. What matters is that tantrums are not normal in development for young adults. When an adult exhibits such behavior, it means that this person may be experiencing a disorder and needs to be examined.
