My green terror has fairly recently come down with a case of TGDD, and I'm, not sure what to do about it, I'm in need of some guidance in the way of remedying the situation...

Tough Guy Delusional Disorder....you see, i moved recently, and what was my tiny lil green terror has a growth spurt and an apparent attitude change wherein he decided to antoagonize my female JD, in doing so, my male JD of equal size has been plain jacking up my GT, to the point where I thoguth he was going to lose his lower jaw the other morning.. in fact it seems as if these two like to dance every morning about the same time, and now my GT is starting to lok a lil ragged, do I let this continue, or do I separate my GT from the tank for a while til he heals and let him stay in solitude for a bit, or some other suggestions?

agreed...and as the fish get bigger things will only get worse until the point where most likely one of them will be killed. I'd definitely go with permanent separation.
whats the temperature of the tank? and what was it before you moved?
sometimes higher temperature than normal can contribute to aggressive behavior in big cichlids
