Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a mental disorder characterized by recurrent outbursts of impulsive aggression that are disproportionate to the situation. These individuals may have co-occurring conditions such as bipolar disorder, personality disorders (particularly antisocial or borderline), substance use disorder (particularly alcohol), and cognitive disorders. There is no significant evidence linking cancer or gastrointestinal disorders to these co-occurring disorders. While individuals with diabetes may have a higher risk of developing depression or anxiety, they are not necessarily at an increased risk for these specific co-occurring conditions.
