LLC Due to these tough economic times, and to give back to the community, we are doing a limited
amount of pro-bono talks in the Las Vegas, Utah, California and Arizona areas. Don't Wait!! Call
us to schedule What is Intermittent Explosive
Disorder?
Intermittent Explosive Disorder is an anger disorder that takes away your control over aggressive impulses. Signs: Within seconds
a person's mood will go from completely calm, to totally out of control and into a violent rage towards other people or property.
Most of the time it will be over the smallest thing that most people wouldn't even get upset about. The cause is lack of
serotonin to the frontal lobe region of the brain. (Serotonin is a brain chemical that helps a person stay calm & reason,
instead of reacting too fast.) The disorder is found in males more than females, and the most common age is twelve
to about thirty. But there are cases where the male has been much younger than adolescence, and much older than thirty. How does it affect a person?
Most people have what we call a grey area of the brain, this grey area will allow a person with a "normal" brain
to stop and rationalize the situation before reacting. A person with I.E.D. doesn't have this rationalizing capability, which
is what causes their temper to go from 0-60 within seconds Whose life does it affect? Everyone that's involved. If the child
has it, the parents and other siblings in the house also suffer. If the husband has it, the wife suffers while trying to protect
the children. Be aware: this disorder cannot be hidden from anyone, this illness doesn't care when it snaps, or where
it snaps, or who it snaps on. (Wives, kids, grandparents,
neighbors, bosses, even the family pet). It doesn't get embarassed who's watching either. (It
could be at work, the grocery store, a restaurant, the privacy of your own home, or in the middle of a public place. This
mental illness does not care who's listening. (Not even the police) What are the most common things that make a person with IED snap? - banging or hitting your head accidently - stress - the heat - the inability to properly communicate
feelings into words(this one strongly affects both adult males and adolescence males) You will find when a person is having an attack,the behavior from the
adult male is not much different from the child's behavior (which makes it really hard for the female who is witnessing the
attack). Watching a child "flip
out"and start throwing stuff around their room,flipping their bed over and banging their head on the wall is not near
as scary as watching a full grown man do the same thing. |
