“…Trait aggression is linked with the tendency to engage in NSSI (Haavisto et al, 2005; Hillbrand, Krystal, Sharpe, & Foster, 1994; Tang et al, 2013). At clinical levels, aggression is a component of intermittent explosive disorder, which is associated with increased prevalence of NSSI (McCloskey, Ben-Zeev, Lee, & Coccaro, 2008). In adolescents, aggression is found to be a distal predictor of NSSI, which is mediated by emotion regulation (Adrian, Zeman, Erdley, Lisa, & Sim, 2010).…”

To date, the considerable body of research on predictors of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) has conceptualized NSSI as a unitary construct despite the fact that NSSI can exist in many forms (e.g., hitting, cutting, burning). The goal of the present study is to examine differential prediction of forms of NSSI. Specifically, we examined trait aggression as a predictor of more aggressive forms of NSSI (i.e., hitting). We hypothesized that higher trait aggression would differentiate those who engaged in hitting forms of NSSI from those who did not, whereas other factors (i.e., emotion regulation and trait anger) would serve as a non-specific predictor of NSSI. We also hypothesized that higher trait aggression would be related to lifetime frequency of hitting NSSI, but not other forms of NSSI, whereas emotion regulation and anger would act as predictors of other forms of NSSI. To test these hypotheses, a large sample of young adults completed measures of trait aggression, trait anger, emotion regulation, and NSSI behaviors. Results were generally in line with our hypotheses. Higher levels of trait aggression differentiated those who engaged in hitting NSSI from those who did not and was also associated with greater frequency of hitting NSSI. These results imply that different factors predict different forms of NSSI and that NSSI may be best examined as a multi-faceted construct.

“…Adolescents and young adults may experience educational and social consequences but also mental health problems,4 including parasuicide,13 if IED/EDS is undiagnosed in early childhood. Consequently, earlier recognition and treatment of IED/EDS could potentially prevent these complications, with obvious benefits for the individual and their community.…”

Episodic dyscontrol syndrome (EDS) or intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a clearly identified category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV). It affects children and adults. Children are often considered to have epilepsy or a mental health problem. The episodes comprise of recurrent attacks of uncontrollable rage, usually after minimal provocation, and may last up to an hour. Following an episode, children are frequently exhausted, may sleep and will usually have no recall. These features often raise the possibility of epilepsy, and children may be referred for an electroencephalogram (EEG). An abnormal EEG may subsequently lead to a diagnosis of epilepsy and the prescription of an anticonvulsant. Five patients with EDS are described, all referred to a single neurology clinic with a possible diagnosis of epilepsy, one of whom was being treated with an anticonvulsant. Four had an EEG, which was normal in two patients and showed "abnormalities" in two, leading to an incorrect diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy in one patient. All five children responded to psychological (behavioural) intervention. Recognition of the clinical features of IED/EDS should preclude the need for EEG and other investigations in these patients and prompt referral to psychological services.

“…Because it is intermittent in nature, the association with modest impairment in the work domain was not surprising. Nonetheless, IED might be associated with violent behaviors (30). Thus, its overall impairment was comparable to that of chronic physical disorders (4,5).…”

“…It is characterized by recurrent episodes of serious assaultive acts that are out of proportion to psychosocial stressors (29,30). Recent studies found that IED is far more common than previously thought (29) and was the third most common 12-month disorder in Beijing and Shanghai (16).…”
