Intermittent Explosive Disorder Aka IED

Posted by: thenewsmakers on: January 27, 2009

Randy Orton has made a statement that he is suffering from IED. IED, which refers to an individual suffering a loss of control and outbursts of physical violence when provoked , affects 16 million Americans.

I will quote Wikipedia for the definition of IED

Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme expressions of anger, often to the point of uncontrollable rage, that are disproportionate to the situation at hand. It is currently categorized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as an impulse control disorder. IED belongs to the larger family of Axis I impulse control disorders listed in the DSM-IV-TR, along with kleptomania, pyromania, pathological gambling, and others.

The question is can a person be not held responsible for his violent actions on the pretext that he sufferred from I.E.D. ?
