  Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a psychiatric disorder that causes recurrent, sudden episodes of violent or aggressive behavior. […] Since little is known about the condition, an intermittent explosive disorder test does not exist. But a mental health professional can diagnose IED based on physical and psychological evaluations. […] IED diagnosis is done by a mental health professional. Theyll use numerous methods to make a diagnosis. […] Your mental health professional will then compare your symptoms to the criteria in the most recent edition of the DSM (DSM-5). Youll be diagnosed with IED if you experience one of the following: verbal or physical aggression toward things, animals, or other people, twice a week (on average), within 3 months, which doesnt cause physical damage or injury; three aggressive outbursts that cause damage or injury, within 12 months.

You must have shown physically or verbally aggressive behavior toward people, animals, or property at least two times a week during the past three months.

  Intermittent explosive disorder (IED), characterized by impulsive aggression and poorly regulated emotional control, was associated with multiple classes of comorbidities, an analysis of 117.7 million healthcare records showed. […] „Our findings shed unique light on how IED is diagnosed in clinical practice, distinct from research settings,” Zhang-James and colleagues wrote. […] Because the analysis relied on diagnostic codes in medical records, the prevalence of IED was „very low in this study compared with community studies, which have the prevalence closer to about 2.5% to 3%,” observed Emil Coccaro, MD, of the Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus, who was not involved with the research. […] „A striking finding was that IED without psychiatric comorbidity, or so-called pure IED, was rare: only 4.3% of those with IED did not have another psychiatric diagnosis,” Zhang-James and co-authors wrote.

  The findings raise provocative hypotheses for clinical practice, they noted. Clinicians should consider using the diagnosis of IED more frequently when warranted, they suggested. „Highlighting aggression as a separate diagnosis may focus more attention on aggressive behavior and facilitate the development of targeted treatments,” they wrote. […] The findings also raise questions about how diagnostic systems are constructed, Zhang-James and co-authors said, noting that „it is impossible to know how often IED is overlooked vs not given due to clinicians’ judgment that aggression is better explained by another diagnosis.”
