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
