Intermittent explosive disorder (sometimes abbreviated as IED ) is a behavioral disorder characterized by explosive outbursts of anger and violence, often to the point of rage, that are disproportionate to the situation at hand (e.g., impulsive screaming [en.wikipedia.org]
- Aggressive Behavior
Those who suffer from IED grapple with controlling their impulses and find themselves engaged in recurrent aggressive outbursts. These aggressive behaviors can include physical and verbal aggression. [crestwynbehavioral.com]
- Behavior Disorder
Individuals with IED are, on average, four times more likely to develop depressive or anxiety disorders, and three times more likely to develop substance use disorders. [9] Bipolar disorder has been linked to increased agitation and aggressive behavior [en.wikipedia.org]
Neurologic
- Tantrums
These could include temper tantrums, tirades, verbal arguments/fights, or assault without damage. This criterion includes high frequency/low intensity outbursts. [en.wikipedia.org]

In antisocial personality disorder, interpersonal aggression is usually instrumental in nature (i.e., motivated by tangible rewards), whereas IED is more of an impulsive, unpremeditated reaction to situational stress. [11] Treatment [ edit ] Treatment [en.wikipedia.org]
Thankfully, there are treatment options available that can help individuals learn how to control their impulses, implement appropriate and healthy responses to stressors, and overcome their symptoms from IED. [crestwynbehavioral.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology [ edit ] Impulsive behavior, and especially impulsive violence predisposition has been correlated to a low brain serotonin turnover rate, indicated by a low concentration of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the cerebrospinal fluid [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention
This combination of features makes IED an ideal target for early detection and intervention aimed at secondary prevention of anger attacks as well as primary prevention of secondary disorders. [oxfordhandbooks.com]
The final sessions focus on resisting aggressive impulses and other preventative measures. [12] Tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs, including fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, and sertraline ) appear to alleviate some [en.wikipedia.org]
