This "new" IED (intermittent explosive disorder.) I may be going out on a limb here...but my first inclination was, "You must be kidding!" Continued thoughts about it only give me the same ending: someone is jerking our colletive chains and everyone is falling for it. Well, not everyone. Not me.
Several times I was going to submit a "comment" to the article, but decided against it. I have plenty of comment in me about all this, but I'll refrain. While many ppl in the world have been traumatized in one fashion or another, I doubt seriously this new label is anything but a play on the Iraqi war's greatest threat: the IED. I may be wrong, but that's the way I feel about it. TC!

I saw that on TV or something...I thought it was a humor thing, too.

When I posted the article I was not trying to be humurous. I have no idea whether it is real or not but found it interesting nonetheless.
My instinctive thought was that now something else is being called a disorder but I also refrained from posting that, rather wishing to post something that I found interesting and read what other folk thought about it. I could certainly use "intermittent explosive" term in my own life and I don't even drive.

This "disorder" sounds like a stretch, but they do have some brain imaging evidence to support their position. I am certainly not qualified to analyze this evidence, but I think it is safe to say that this is not humorous, nor any sort of put-on. These folks have done serious research that deserves to be peer-reviewed and evaluated.
Who knows, perhaps one day everyone will be shown to be abnormal...thus confirming what we already know! DJ

In my opinion it's simply an anger problem with a new name stuck on it. People having problems controlling their anger has been around for a long long time.
I think road rage is also an anger problem. Someone I know had "road rage" years before that term was applied to a persons anger being out of control. New labels! Why do we need them?

Sorry, but no...this is a real disorder, with a DSM-IV classification and everything...
Diagnostic criteria for 312.34 Intermittent Explosive Disorder A. Several discrete episodes of failure to resist aggressive impulses that result in serious assaultive acts or destruction of property. B. The degree of aggressiveness expressed during the episodes is grossly out of proportion to any precipitating psychosocial stressors. C. The aggressive episodes are not better accounted for by another mental disorder (e.g., Antisocial Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, a Psychotic Disorder, a Manic Episode, Conduct Disorder, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and are not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., head trauma, Alzheimer's disease). This disorder is believed to be related to kleptomania and pyromania, and is thought to be somehow related to seratonin level in the brain. And if you don't agree, I'll find you, beat you up, steal all your stuff and burn down your house!!! (Just kidding!!!)....  DJ

Whether it's a hoax or not doesn't matter to me one way or the other. What I think is that too many people are using "illness" or "disorder" to excuse their lack of respect and thoughtfulness! It's and "excuse", not a reason. It allows them to continue their bad behavior and the shed all responsibility for themselves and their actions.

I suppose some terrorists do, but I think most of them only explode once!

Geez...thanks! No blog, yet...I do better throwing things from the sidelines than actually playing the game!
I am, by nature, off topic. However, I thought saliva was "On Topic" anywhere! (My Bad). DJ

Sorry to be contentious, but this has been an officially recognized psychological diagnosis since at least 1994 when the DSM-IV came out, so it is hardly new.
Now, this doesn't address the issue of whether or not people abuse the diagnoses for one reason or the other; but just because some do abuse them and we don't like it when they do doesn't make the diagnosis any less real. We have to remember that these diagnoses are labels that are part of a system of standard terminology that allow medical professionals to communicate accurately. In other words, when someone is told they have "Intermittent Explosive Disorder", that means they have exhibited a certain set of behaviors that have been classified in that way, and that's all it means. Some of these, like depression or bipolar, have been shown to have a biological basis; most, however, have not. I think that "Intermittent Explosive Disorder" is probably just psychologist for "******hole". But then, I'm just a crazy, unemployed musician! DJ
