AOBD is similar in nature to intermittent explosive disorder (IED), but the main difference is with IED, it wears off quite fast, but AOBD doesnt and causes feelings of anger, rage, and/or irritability to either last much longer or be constant/almost constant.
“-homicidal ideation, thoughts, and/or urges
-intrusive thoughts about murdering people
-almost or completely constant yet mild anger, rage and/or irritability
-feelings of anger, rage and/or irritability last for long periods of time even once the triggering event has long since passed
-long lasting episodes of anger that fluxuate in severity”
these symptoms are NOT present in IED, and IED episodes are sudden and have no cause, unlike with AOBD episodes which are not sudden, and do have a cause. IED episodes also only usually last 30 minutes and have bigger gaps between them compared to AOBD episodes, which are much longer and frequent and fluxuate in severity during the episodes
also, unlike with people who have IED, people with AOBD have more self control, AOBD episodes rarely result in verbal and/or physical violence, verbal and/or physical abuse, property damage, ect unlike IED.
these conditions can be co-morbid however, and you can have both types of episodes at different times.
