Delving into Neurogenesis of Intermitted Explosive Disorder

Abstract

Avantika Sharma

Human violence is a complex act that involves harming oneself, others, or objects physically or verbally. It takes on many forms and can be protective, planned (e.g., predatory), or impulsive (non-premeditated). In contrast to deliberate and impulsive aggressiveness, which are seen as unhealthy, defensive aggression falls within the normal range of human behaviour. However, a convergent pattern of data consistently connects impulsive, but not deliberate, aggression to biological, environmental, pharmacological, and psychological treatment response characteristics.
