Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is an impulse-control disorder that is characterized by sudden, unwarranted episodes of anger. This disorder causes people to act in a hostile manner or impulsively participate in recurrent aggressive outbursts. People who suffer from IED have described feeling as though they have suddenly lost control of their emotions and become completely overwhelmed by feelings of extreme anger. Intermittent explosive disorder can cause people to attack objects, animals, and/or other people.
IED typically presents itself in the early teen years. Individuals are not given a diagnosis of intermittent explosive disorder unless they have displayed at least three episodes of unprovoked, impulsive aggressiveness that is considered to be grossly out of proportion to any pre-existing psychosocial stressors. People who suffer from IED report that, prior to their episode of acting out, they feel a sense of tension building up as a result of their rage. They state that, once they have acted out and the tension has been released, they start to experience feelings of embarrassment or remorse.
