About Us
That feeling after an outburst—the confusion, the guilt. We created this space because we believe understanding is the first step toward control.
The Genesis of Clarity
It began with a simple question: Where can someone turn when they feel lost in their own anger, without fear of judgment? IntermittentExplosiveDisorder.com was born from the need for a safe, accessible first step. By focusing on free, confidential, and multilingual support, and grounding our assessment in established DSM-5 criteria, we aim to provide a clear, supportive starting point for anyone seeking to understand their emotional patterns.

June 2025 — Official Launch
IntermittentExplosiveDisorder.com launches with a core focus on a free, confidential, and user-friendly self-assessment available in over 15 languages, making the first step toward understanding accessible globally.

2026 & Beyond — Looking Ahead
Our goal is to expand our resource hub with expert-reviewed content, introduce more interactive anger management tools, and continue enhancing accessibility to ensure everyone has a safe place to start their journey.
