Anger Disorder
New studies show that more people are affected by explosive outbursts of uncontrollable rage than previous. More than 7% of people in the US are experiencing this anger disorder known as “intermittent explosive disorder”. It means they respond to certain situations with anger in appropriately at some time in their life.
People who are younger than 256 years of age are more prevalent to anger disorder. About 10% of this age group reported extra outbursts at least three times in their lifetime.In has been established that the average age for this type of disorder is approximately fourteen.
There may be many more cases than this as many people don’t want to talk about it. Some doctors also avoid discussing these things with their clients because they are not sure they can treat such disorders. But there are number of ways the disorder can be treated and the number of ways is increasing. Psychotherapy is one way in which patient is asked to deconstruct the root causes of their anger.
Previous studies have suggested that violent, aggressive outbursts are due to decreased levels of serotonin in frontal parts of their brains. Therefore the Physicians advocate the consumption of drugs used for depression called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Most people are misdiagnosed as psychiatric illness instead of anger disorder.
We are still uncertain about a lot of aspects of anger disorder or IED. Now new studies show that IED starts at early age of adolescence. By establishing how to treat a young person at an early age in their life we reduce the chances of them experiencing other mental health issues later on in life.
Repeated instances of unprovoked anger can be a serious mental health problem. If you see somebody experiencing uncontrollable anger you may come to know that he or she has not been treated or even diagnosed. You may not want to suggest this to the person as he will not be happy, more important is to help him.
Hence it is worth to dare to suggest it. As such when condition becomes better understood, more and more patients and physicians become aware of the disorder and more opportunities for treatment will emerge.
If not attended at early period IED may be destructive. Individuals may disturb other peoples activities and this could affect everybody. Sometimes the person attacks somebody and the victim has to be admitted to the hospital, for example. And this also affects the health of the person who has anger disorder. IED (anger disorder) can be treated with professional counselling and a course of monitored medicine.
