Describe intermittent explosive disorder (IED). What health conditions are people diagnosed with IED at a greater risk of developing?
What will be an ideal response?
Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by episodes of extreme anger and acting out the anger through assaults or the destruction of property. A person with this disorder has "spells" or "attacks" and often feels remorseful afterwards. A recent study found that people diagnosed with IED are at greater risk for developing a number of adverse health conditions such as CHD, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, back or neck pain, headaches, chronic pain, arthritis, and ulcers (McCloskey, Kleabir, Berman, Chen, & Coccaro, 2010).
