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.
The idea sparks from observing a critical gap: the lack of accessible, non-judgmental resources for individuals struggling silently with explosive anger and the loved ones affected by it.
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.
We introduce an optional, AI-powered detailed report. This feature provides deeper, personalized insights based on user context, serving as a more comprehensive starting point for a conversation with a healthcare professional.
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.
