Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a mental health disorder characterized by episodes of impulsive anger or aggression that are out of proportion to the trigger. According to a study conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health, the condition will affect as many as 16 million Americans in their lifetimes. Although it is relatively unknown, IED often leads to impulsive behaviors such as extreme road rage, domestic violence, workplace conflict, and other outbursts that may result in bodily harm and property damage, which is why health experts recommend that those with the condition seek treatment as soon as possible.
IED typically develops in a person’s adolescent years and may increase their risk of developing anxiety or depression. Because many do not recognize that it is a mental disorder, those who struggle with it may go undiagnosed into adulthood. However, Mission Connection says that mental health practitioners have identified several signs that can act as indicators of whether an individual is suffering from the condition.
For example, if aggressive outbursts occur twice a week on average for three months or more, these will be classified as a symptom of IED under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5). These episodes must be sudden, intense, and out of the individual’s ability to control, and they may include destruction of property, verbal abuse, or physical aggression towards people or animals - often resulting in regret.
IED can be caused by traumatic experiences, neurotransmitter dysfunction, and structural variations in certain regions of the brain. However, Mission Connection says that it is often successfully treated with psychotherapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy. Patients undergoing treatment will also be taught relaxation techniques and coping skills, which will help them identify potential triggers and manage or prevent future outbursts, reducing the impact of the disorder on their lives over the long term.
