Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of impulsive and aggressive behavior, often resulting in verbal or physical outbursts that are disproportionate to the triggering event or stressor. Individuals with IED may experience intense feelings of anger, irritability, or rage, leading to sudden and uncontrollable acts of aggression or violence.
Psychological counselling can be highly beneficial in helping individuals overcome IED by addressing underlying psychological factors, teaching coping strategies, and promoting healthier ways of managing anger and aggression.
Treatment for Intermittent Explosive Disorder typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and behavioral interventions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used to help individuals learn to recognize and manage triggers for aggression, develop coping strategies to control impulses, and improve anger management skills. Medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or mood stabilizers may also be prescribed to help reduce impulsivity and aggression.
