An impulse control disorder consisting of aggressive outbursts (e.g., assaultiveness or destruction of property) that are out of proportion to any evident stressors. Often the behavior is completely uncharacteristic of the person, who does not exhibit this behavior between episodes. In many cases, however, this aggressiveness comes out in less explosive ways between episodes. Source: Edgerton, Jane E. 1994. American Psychiatric Glossary, 7th Edition.
