Road rage in the U.S. might be more common than previously suspected and could extend beyond the road as well.
By some estimates almost 16 million Americans are afflicted with a disorder that results in them erupting into screaming and possibly violent outbursts, sometimes at the slightest provocation.
Intermittent Explosive Disorder is regarded as a “pattern of explosive outbursts in response to everyday frustrations.” Michael McClusky, Ph.D. in the New Scientist, says that people with this disorder often say “that their temper goes from 0 to 100.” Such outbursts can lead to injury to other people and property, revenge, and domestic abuse.
