Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is characterized by repeated inability to control aggressive impulses. Although the etiology and neurobiology of impulsive anger and impulse control disorders have been reviewed, no systematic review on these aspects has been published for IED specifically.

Our findings highlight a multifactorial...

This study's purpose was to compare self-regulation between those meeting criteria for a psychiatric condition characterized by unplanned aggression (intermittent explosive...
