Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of impulsive aggression. Individuals with IED may experience sudden outbursts of anger that are disproportionate to the situation, leading to verbal or physical aggression. These episodes can cause significant distress and impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The exact cause of IED is not fully understood, but it may involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors. Treatment options often include therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medications to help manage symptoms. Early intervention can improve outcomes for those affected by IED.
