Is intermittent explosive disorder just bad behaviour?

Sudden and intense anger outbursts can leave loved ones feeling unsafe and impact relationships and daily life.

Many individuals struggle with intense anger, leading to impulsive and aggressive behaviours. These sudden outbursts can manifest as verbal confrontations, physical altercations, or even property damage, significantly affecting relationships, professional life, and social interactions. This pattern of behaviour is recognised as a mental health condition called Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED).
