Anger Management & Intermittent Explosive Disorder Treatment in Tempe, Arizona

Find Calm. Restore Control. Rebuild Connection.

When you’re angry, do you find yourself yelling or name-calling?
Do you shut down when someone asks you to open up?
Do your loved ones feel tense, afraid, or hesitant to approach you?

No one wants to admit when anger becomes unmanageable — especially when it hurts the people we care about most.
But acknowledging the problem is the first and most powerful step toward change.

At Amicus Health & Wellness in Tempe, Arizona, we help individuals who struggle with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) and uncontrolled anger find calm, understanding, and emotional control through compassionate psychiatric care.

Understanding Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED)

Intermittent Explosive Disorder is a condition characterized by sudden, intense episodes of anger or aggression that feel disproportionate to the situation at hand. These outbursts can include yelling, physical confrontations, or destructive behavior — followed by feelings of guilt, shame, or sadness.

IED is not simply “losing your temper.” It’s a recognized mental health condition that can stem from a combination of neurological, environmental, and psychological factors. Fortunately, it can be successfully managed with professional treatment and a strong commitment to change.

Common Signs You May Need Anger Management Help

If you’ve noticed any of the following, it might be time to reach out for support:

  • Frequent angry outbursts or verbal aggression

  • Physical altercations or destruction of property

  • Feeling “on edge” or easily irritated

  • Difficulty calming down after conflict

  • Regret or guilt after losing control

  • Loved ones expressing fear or emotional distance

  • Trouble maintaining relationships or employment due to anger

You’re not alone — and it’s not too late to regain control.

Anger management therapy and psychiatric support can help:

  • Individuals with Intermittent Explosive Disorder

  • Violent offenders or those involved in domestic conflicts
