  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11323261/

  IED is also associated with considerable psychiatric comorbidity. A large epidemiological study of IED based on criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Revision (DSM-IV) showed that 38.1% of individuals with IED also met criteria for a lifetime mood disorder, whereas 60.2% met for an anxiety disorder and 39.6% met for a substance use disorder, with IED typically originating before the comorbid disorder. However, comorbidity between IED and personality disorders (PD) is even higher, with a recent study of 650 participants diagnosed with IED finding that 92% met general criteria for a personality disorder, including 48% meeting criteria for a cluster B disorder (i.e., borderline, antisocial, narcissistic, and histrionic PDs), 27% meeting criteria for a cluster C disorder (avoidant, obsessive-compulsive, and dependent PDs), and 18% meeting criteria for a cluster A disorder (i.e., paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal PDs). Among these, the PDs with highest comorbidity rates among IED were antisocial, borderline, paranoid, and obsessive-compulsive PDs, all of which are independently associated with anger and/or aggression. Furthermore, PD comorbidity predicted more severe anger and aggression among those with IED. Thus, PD symptoms appear to be associated with IED severity.
