Is Anger a Sign of a Drug Deficiency?

Robert Jay Rowen, MD

 

Just when you thought you were safe from the clutches

of newly made up psychiatric disorders, they have invented

another syndrome. But this one is even more common than

most. If fact, it's likely almost all of us have had this

new " disease " at one time or another.

 

Yes, dear reader. If you've ever gotten enraged at some

jerk who cut you off in traffic, you may suffer from

Intermittent Explosive Disorder, or IED.

 

Like most names of psych diagnoses, IED is a description

of symptoms only. It has nothing to do with the etiology

of the problem. (They would likely diagnose me with

" alternative medical madness. " )

 

According to the shrinks who made up the disease, IED

is most prevalent in young adults. It usually starts

around age 13 in boys and age 19 in girls. It increases

rapidly thereafter, but falls off by the time you reach

your 40s. And it's even less prevalent by your 60s.

 

IED most often manifests itself in road rage and school

violence. The syndrome is marked by the victim " misinterpreting

another person's harmless action as a personal threat to them

and respond by slapping, hitting, or threatening another

person, by breaking things, by punching holes in walls or

by trying to run somebody down with their car, " says author

Dr. Emil Coccaro, University of Chicago's chief of psychiatry.

He is hailing his work as proof that IED " is really out there

and a lot of people have it. "

 

Of course, this is exciting news to Big Pharma. The big drug

companies must be salivating at this report. Maybe they'll

lobby to dump tranquilizers in the water supply, like fluoride.

After all, they need to protect you from your neighbor's anger

problem.

 

By the way, the same article that calls anger a disease places

the blame for this disease on TV and bad parenting! If you're

wondering how it can be a disease if it's caused by watching

TV, you may move to the head of the class.

 

As ludicrous as this whole story is, the shrinks did get one

thing right: road rage and school violence are causes for

concern.

 

But I wouldn't place most of the blame on bad parenting and TV.

While violence on TV is getting much worse and parenting isn't

what it used to be, there's a lot of evidence that something

else is at work in people who regularly lose their temper. I'll

tell you what it is in our next health alert.

 

Yours for better health and medical freedom,
