 Intermittent Explosive Disorder When we say Intermittent Explosive Disorder, that means that it is a behavioural disorder in which sudden aggressive or verbal behaviour has been exhibited. You can understand in a way that the child is behaved aggressively, either verbally or physically, disproportionately in reference to the situation. So basically, when the child reacts aggressively to any situation, that is not in proportion of that situation. For example, if something has come up in front of him, for example, a table has come up, he will act aggressively and throw it back. If his mother has asked him to read it, but he or she does not want to study, then he will react very aggressively, either verbally shout, scream or cry. Like we say that the child throws the temper tantrum. This kind of child reacts aggressively in any situation, in any small matter. Now, the aggressive behaviour of this child is not appropriate for that situation. When we say that it is not appropriate for that situation, that means that if any child has used your colour pencils, then you might feel bad. And you may be upset that he or she has used your colour without asking you why. You can talk to him. But the children who have the problem of Intermediate Explosive Disorder, they react differently. They get so angry that sometimes they snatch their books, their copies, and sometimes they ruin their things. And they started to yell on them, they started to scream on them, that why did they use that thing. So, this kind of violent behaviour or aggressive or physical aggressive behaviour, when it is an exhibition, we call it Intermediate Explosive Disorder. But the important thing in this is that it is sudden. There is no pre-planned situation in this, there is no pro-domal phase in this. This is a situation in front of which the child reacts that way. So, you have to keep this in mind that Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder are different from Intermediate Explosive Disorder. Intermediate Explosive Disorder is only the problem of anger, only the problem of rage. Because of which a child reacts aggressively in a different situation. And those children who have Conduct Disorder or Oppositional Defiant Disorder and they have a lot of anger in them, we give them a different diagnosis in addition to Conduct Disorder and in addition to Oppositional Defiant Disorder and even in addition to Hyperactivity Disorder. So, you have to keep this in mind. Secondly, you will get the signs that you will find out that this child has Intermediate Explosive Disorder. When we talk about its signs, it will be like when his mother or his teachers will complain to his mother or when his mother will come to you or when you will offer the child a school, they will tell you that this child throws a temper tantrum. What does it mean to throw a temper tantrum? That the child does whining, crying, kicking, hitting, throwing objects. So, this kind of behavior is exhibiting. For example, if the teacher will say that you did this wrong and you have to do it right, then they might also scribble on the copy, they might not do the right thing, they might break the paper and destroy the copy of the child. So, this sort of behavior is exhibiting. Similarly, if the mother says that she will sit and study, or the mother says that she will tie up the room twice in the room, then she will yell and scream over it like, what's the matter with you? Why you are disturbing me? I don't want to do this thing. So, these kinds of complaints will report you. But importantly, you can understand it with non-compliance behavior in reference to aggressive behavior. But in this, it is not 100% non-compliance behavior. Sometime the child is in a really good mood and when the situation is appropriate, then that complains also shows and does all the work. But when the things and when the situation is slightly irritable to him or her, at that time he started to shouting and showing the physical aggression. Thank you.
