Without reading any paper or abstract, I can say from personal experience, this is a very popular dx tossed in by psychs "now a days".
It's on my daughter's list from hell.

"IED occurs more often in men. Women do experience it and have reported it as part of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)."
So I'm good to go.
We are who and what we are, and the point of living, is to LIVE.
It does not matter what the label is, it is how we spend our time, how we move the world forward, how we think beyond the norm, it is how we make a difference that matters.
Life is just too short to live in the DSM.
Move out, reach beyond what we think we can do.
When this happens, things can change.
I would like every one here reading this to stop.
Stop for 5 minutes and think of a beautiful moment in their life.
Take that moment and move the energy. We all have power within us to overcome extreme adversity. Why am I adding this to IED? because it is just a lame DSM dx that can be attached to any one.
Oh please, let us move into the 21st Century.
It is time to rise to the occasion, in any way we can, to speak up, and to others about trivial things like diagnoses on paper.
Running free in fields of flowers and tall grass in the summertime is the way.
Think like you have never thought before, and push that idea forward into your own community, to the doctors, to anyone you can pass the word that "normal" is a word.
There is no normal. What would life be without differences?
Every one reading this makes a difference, and I want everyone reading to really hear that.
We all are here for a reason. Stop worrying about labels and reasons for why we are who we are and celebrate who you are.

Hi, Philip. I haven't done the reading on this yet, but the DSM describes this as essentially violent anger. So what's anger of the nonviolent type? Well, good luck finding that. It's not in the DSM, which I guess means anger is very normal, which is pretty scary, especially when your boss is abusing the shit out of you. Amazingly anger is not listed as a symptom for mania. I just did a PubMed of "anger,bipolar" and noticed that Akiskal has just written something on it. About time - my previous searches came up virtually empty.

I have so-called IED but do not see myself s a physically violent threat to people or animals. Granted..I hold in, ponder..for a day...days...and then some schittbag sees it in me..and tosses the bait..then..whaqm...my vocal rage hits hurricane..I do not want this bastard to ever forget his abuse, me, or the fact that not all folk have had the cushiest and most secure of lives. I am still a very decent person..more than many...for pain is what I know about...wrath should reward the abusers should they ( often ) wilfully incurr it...drew
