Press Release Body = Perhaps the the greatest problem in the anger management field
is another serious psychological disorder called intermittent explosive disorder.
Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a fairly rare disorder of the brain
characterized by explosive outbursts of behavior crave throwing, breaking things,
inflicting physical harm on others with small or no provocation. It\'s an impulse
control disorder that is at times linked to temporal lobe epilepsy. It has also been
suggested by studies as the underlying cause of road agitation.

It's estimated that up to 7.3% of adults, or in 11.5 to 16 million Americans, suffer
from I.E.D. at some time during their lives, but it's believed the real percentages
would be much higher, as I.E.D. tends to overlap in individuals with bipolar
disorder, and people diagnosed with bipolar disorder were excluded out of the
testing. I.E.D is believed to be among the the vast majority dangerous, destructive
of mental disorders. It\'s characterized by angry outbursts resulting in violence or
destruction of property, and can be exacerbated by the use of alcohol or
recreational drugs, such as Crystal Methamphetamines. This mental disorder is
believed to be found linked to crimes such as domestic violence, child abuse,
assault, rape, murder, road agitation, and violent robberies, and does not respond
well to normal ways of anger management. People with this disorder are prone to
violent outpourings or impulsive aggressiveness grossly from proportion to the
precipitating event.

I.E.D. is picture to begin in the early teen years, and is often brushed aside as
bullying by someone who chooses not to practice positive ways of anger management.
Since the onset of I.E.D. occurs at such an early age, it is proposed that those
exhibiting symptoms of I.E.D. be demonstrated at the first sign of a problem, often
while they will be still in school.

I.E.D. is known to influence sufferers for conditions such as depression and
anxiety, alcohol and drug abuse, and contributes heavily to dysfunctional behaviors
resulting domestic violence, criminal behavior, and divorce. 71.2% of people with
I.E.D never seek or receive any treatment, other than classic anger management
techniques, which, while constructive to a degree, need to be utilized in
conjunction with medications, since treatment is achieved through both cognitive
behavioral therapy, to benefit the patient figure and exchange with brutal impulses,
and psychotropic medication regimens, because those who have unprovoked violence
associated with the disorder, show loss of cells and abnormalities in the left
hemisphere of the brain, and various drug regimens will be frequently indicated for
these patients.
