Road bullies may suffer from Intermittent Explosive Disorder, says psychiatrist


PETALING JAYA: Those who show ‘disproportionate behaviours’ in relation to the situation on hand such as the man who damaged the windscreen of a woman’s car could be suffering from Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) said a psychiatrist. 

Perdana University Graduate School of Medicine associate professor Datuk Dr Andrew Mohanraj (pic) said that even those who are considered to be good-natured or who fulfil their obligations to others could suffer from this disorder, displaying uncharacteristic behaviours.
