Answer 1

There is a disorder called Bipolar disorder with an extra feature of rage, some other psychiatric disorder or lack of impulse control can cause what you stated in your question.

See a psychiatrist and get it under control with psychiatric drugs and or therapy or you are going to wind up in jail or a mental institution against your will.

Answer 2

Why don't you tell us. Why do you become depressed? Is your depression the cause of your violent behavior? When you have violent episodes with no reason (you say) is the depression also existent? And when the episode is triggered is the violence existent?
It appears that you have moments of violence where the causes are triggered but you are not always conscious of those triggers. In other words the triggered episodes are just a bit closer to your conscious behavior whereas the spontaneous episodes are the same but not at the conscious level. Sometimes you are violent and know more or less what caused it and sometimes violent without knowing why. But they are not all that much different in fact may be for the same reasons only at different levels of consciousness.

Answer 3

Several reasons could account for this behavior.
1. Too much testosterone...either naturally or injected. Some men have genetic dispostion to be more violent if there is an extra Y chromosome:
"XYY syndrome males inherit an extra Y chromosome--their genotype is XYY. As adults, these "super-males" are usually tall (above 6 feet) and generally appear and act normal. However, they produce high levels of testosterone. During adolescence, they often are slender, have severe facial acne, and are poorly coordinated. They are usually fertile and lead ordinary lives as adults. Many, if not most, are unaware that they have a chromosomal abnormality. The frequency of XYY syndrome is not certain due to statistical differences between different studies. It may be as common as 1 in 900 male births to as rare as 1 in 1500 or even 1 in 2,000."

There is some debate about if in fact there is indeed more testosterone produced by these men...It could explain why these espisode occur without an external cause.


2. Alternatively, you could have learned the behavior from a role model and not realized it.

3. So much more I cannot list here, but...

No matter how the behaviour was aquired it is important to seek help to resolve and control it. Good Luck

Answer 4

Hypnotherapy might reveal the truth so you can get some closure.I think this is a form of protection like dissociation.As in DID or dissociative identity disorder. Usually I believe they try to expose the hidden memories that have been repressed.Some parts of the brain may have overcompensated as in the fight or flight. Some people I believe are predisposed to have this because it has been said it can be hereditary. Just another guess from some personal experience (delusions) You might also require an MRI or CT scan to rule out anything physical like a tumor or an infection. Headaches, seizures or other symptoms allergies etc.Sensitvity to toxins building up or being released in the body etc. See your doctor.

If you experienced some sort of trauma, this could be related to it. It could be something from the job, that you have, or did have. If you were in the Military, a Police Officer, Correction Officer, Fire Fighter, or EMT/Paramedic, all of these people see or experience some of the worst of the worst. It could be Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
