Q. You recently had a question from a lady regarding an "explosive disorder". Could she possibly be referring to "Intermittent Explosive Disorder"? I was recently diagnosed with this disorder.
A. There are many terms for this including "behavioral dyscontrol syndrome." It appears to be a form of epilepsy in the limbic system. Sort of a BPD dysphoria response in an individual who doesn't have the chronic symptoms of the BPD. My suspicion is that the limbic system works reasonably well, but has a seizure when stressed.
As with everyone else, all the correct diagnoses need to be made and treated. Attention deficit disorder is commonly associated with temper problems as well.
