Although everyone can have rage issues, males are more likely to do so. According to estimates, 2.7% of Americans suffer with intermittent explosive disorder. Typically in late childhood or adolescent, impulsive and problematic anger first appears in IED. Adults in their 20s and 30s are more likely to experience it, and it very seldom starts after age 40. IED and other anger disorders are more likely to affect those who have had multiple traumas or who were raised in an abusive environment. A first-degree relative who has IED increases their likelihood of getting it themselves.
Some people experience irritability and anger all the time because they are chronically furious. Others occasionally have sudden outbursts of great wrath, or they experience it frequently without apparent cause. Other symptoms of sudden rages include an increase in energy, racing thoughts, palpitations, chest tightness, tingling, or tension. Problematic rage and IED symptoms
include:
- Periodic fury
temper tantrums and verbal rants - Irritability
- Altercations with others that involve violence or words
- Engaging in physical violence, such as hitting, shoving, or slapping
- Physical violence resulting in injury to persons, property, or animals
- Relationship difficulties
- Workplace issues
- School issues
- Legal problems
- Financial difficulties
- Abusing drugs
- Difficulties with mental health
- Self-harm
- Suicidal Tendencies
Regular outbursts of verbal or physical abuse, whether they are impulsive or planned, can have a serious negative impact on relationships with others and work performance. They can also result in financial and legal issues due to the damage done to property or the assault of others.
