There are many medications on the market for this psychologial disorder, and there is no one medications that fits everyone. Anger management is one of the therapies suggested by the psych MDs, along with proper meds. Seek help if this is a problem for you.

I know from personal experience that antidepressants will stop temper tantrums. You just have a calmer feeling.
(I know this sounds crazy but I think that prisons would be calmer,safer places if the inmates were put on antidepressants. It would also save money on salaries of guards. They wouldn't need as many).

You crack me up. IED is not really intermittent. You blow up, that's it, it only happens once.
