Anger Management & Intermittent Explosive Disorder Treatment in Tempe, Arizona

Find Calm. Restore Control. Rebuild Connection.

When you’re angry, do you catch yourself yelling, name-calling, or reacting impulsively?
Do you shut down or pull away when someone asks you to communicate?
Do your loved ones seem tense, afraid, or unsure how to approach you?

Most people don’t want to admit when anger becomes overwhelming — especially when it starts affecting relationships and the people we value most.
But recognizing the pattern is the first and most important step toward real change.

At Amicus Health & Wellness in Tempe, Arizona, we support individuals struggling with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) and chronic, uncontrolled anger. Our compassionate psychiatric care helps patients regain calm, improve emotional control, and build healthier responses through personalized mental health treatment.

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 signs, it may be time to seek professional mental health support:

Frequent anger outbursts or escalating verbal aggression

Physical conflicts or repeated damage to personal property

Feeling constantly “on edge” or easily triggered by stress

Difficulty calming your body and mind after arguments

Regret or guilt after losing emotional control

Family or friends expressing concern, fear, or distance

Struggling to maintain relationships or work stability due to anger

You’re not alone — and support is available to help you regain control.

Who Benefits from Anger Management & Psychiatric Care

Anger management therapy and psychiatric treatment can provide crucial support for:

Individuals struggling with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED)
People involved in violent incidents or recurring domestic conflict
Those showing ongoing bullying, intimidation, or aggressive behaviors
Individuals recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) or post-traumatic stress symptoms
People navigating substance use disorders or early recovery
Individuals with underlying mental health conditions that increase irritability or emotional volatility

The foundation of lasting progress is a personalized treatment plan that addresses both emotional triggers and the biological factors contributing to anger and aggression.
