What Is Intermittent Explosive Disorder?

Intermittent Explosive Disorder is a mental health condition marked by repeated episodes of impulsive aggression, outbursts, or destructive behavior. These reactions are often much stronger than the situation requires, leaving you and those around you feeling shaken and hurt.

Common Signs of Intermittent Explosive Disorder:

  • Sudden bursts of anger, often over small frustrations
  • Physical aggression, such as punching walls or breaking objects
  • Verbal outbursts, like screaming or threatening others
  • Feeling regret or embarrassment after an outburst
  • Difficulty controlling emotions when feeling irritated

These episodes are often followed by deep shame, sadness, or confusion. Many people with Intermittent Explosive Disorder do not know why they react so strongly. Treatment can help.

Why Does This Happen?

Intermittent Explosive Disorder is not simply a result of lacking willpower or self-control. Researchers suggest it may be linked to a combination of brain chemistry, past trauma, and learned behaviors. Some individuals grow up in homes where family members frequently express anger and aggression. Others may have a brain imbalance that hinders their ability to control emotions.

Understanding the cause of your explosive anger can be a powerful step toward healing. At Milton Recovery Centers, we don’t just treat the symptoms. We help you identify emotional triggers and develop tools for lasting change.
