Abstract

The prevalence of suicidal attempts and self-injurious behavior among 376 subjects diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) was assessed via structured interviews. Results showed 16% of IED subjects reported self-aggression, with 12.5% reporting suicide attempts and 7.4% reporting non-lethal self-injurious behaviors. Additional risk factors were identified.
