To be diagnosed with IED, an individual must have displayed verbal or physical aggression toward property, animals, or other people approximately twice weekly for a period of three months. This type of aggression does not necessarily have to result in damage to property or injury in animals or other people.
What age can IED be diagnosed?
IED — and its outbursts of sudden rage, anger, and frustration — can negatively impact family life, social relationships, and academic performance. Symptoms typically appear in late childhood or adolescence, but children may show signs as young as 6 years old, according to Child Mind Institute.
Can IED be diagnosed in adults?
IED typically appears for the first time during the teen years, but symptoms can continue into adulthood; it is most common in people under the age of 40, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
