Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a mental health condition characterized by impulsive and aggressive outbursts that are disproportionate to the situation.

The exact cause of IED is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and situational factors.

A mental health professional will conduct a thorough evaluation and review of symptoms to determine if the criteria for IED are met, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM 5).
