Another kind of IED

You know what I like about science? When it comes up with deterministic explanations for my bad behavior, thereby reducing the amount of responsibility I have to take for my actions. Take for example this latest research breakthrough as reported on livescience.com

Fits of Unprovoked Anger Common, Study Finds

Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) affects as many as 7.3 percent of adults, or up to 16 million Americans at some point in their lives, according to the U.S. government's National Institute of Mental Health.

Ha! Did you read that? That proves that I am not "a great big asshole"! I am SICK! It's a CONDITION! I have Intermittent Explosive Disorder! So I don't need your scorn and invective and dirty looks and restraining orders. I need your UNDERSTANDING and LOVE! And maybe some medicine.

Science is awesome.
