It can be hard to tell if you have IED, but there are some signs that may indicate you should see a professional about your angry outbursts. They include:   Following your angry outburst, you feel tired, guilty, or embarrassed of your behavior. You are often triggered by the same types of situations such as being corrected in public or being told what to do. You physically harm others, yourself, or property during your anger episodes. You can’t think clearly or about any consequences during the episode. You feel as though you have no control over your behavior once you begin having an episode. Your anger affects personal and professional relationships often.
