Here are some quotes from ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MENTAL DISORDERS
at www.minddisorders.com:
“People with intermittent explosive disorder have a problem with controlling their temper. In addition, their violent behavior is out of proportion to the incident or event that triggered the outburst. Impulsive acts of aggression, however, are not unique to intermittent explosive disorder.”
“Several medications have been used for treating IED. These include… propranolol (Inderal), a heart medication that controls blood pressure and irregular heart rhythms…”
“As of 2002, preventive strategies include educating young people in parenting skills, and teaching children skills related to self-control. Recent studies summarized by an article in a professional journal of psychiatry indicate that self-control can be practiced like many other skills, and that people can improve their present level of self-control with appropriate coaching and practice.”
