I would share my personal knowledge of IED in the hope that people like davidp will somehow get their head from btween their knees and realize that there are real mental illnesses. I have appearantely had this disorder since early adolescence and have just recently been diagnosed. I am now 66 years old. As for the B.S. factor let me assure you that IED has made my life a living hell and caused me great loss. I have worked all of my life and have never shirked taking responsibility for my actions, even when I did not understand why. If there is any B.S. here it is that some people refuse to understand that the brain is the most complex organ in our bodies and as such is subject to genetic defect and malfunction the same as all of the other organs. Please take the time to read the research paper on this site and you will learn that IED has a demonstrable pathophysiology. The treatment is dicey at best but I am hopeful that I will be able to salvage what is left of my life through therapy and medication. I beseech each and every one reading this to refrain from badmothing persons who are afflicted with this or any malady that their small minds cannot comprehend.
