Hello Anonymous,
Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects girls almost exclusively. It is characterized by normal early growth and development followed by a slowing of development, loss of purposeful use of the hands, distinctive hand movements, slowed brain and head growth, problems with walking, seizures, and intellectual disability.
Severe agitation and long, daily periods of screaming are not symptoms associated with Rett syndrome.
I think the individual, who you are referring to, needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist or neurologist to determine the cause of this behavior.
