My Best Friend's Wife

My best buddy is not talking to me anymore cause his wife HATES me.
Poor guy has to live with this:
Rage disorder, or Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), affects 7.3% of US adults at some time during their lifetimes. The disorder comes with moments of unexpected anger in which the person(his wife) may attack other people, other people's belongings and actually hurt them and damage their property. The study was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). It found that up to 16 million Americans may experience IED during their lifetimes. Data comes from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, involving 9,282 adults - a national face-to-face survey. According to Ronald Kessler, Ph.D., Harvard Medical School, and team, people with IED generally start showing symptoms during their early teenage years. Nearly 82% of IED sufferers go on to experience depression, anxiety and substance abuse disorders. Unfortunately, only 28.8% are ever treated for their anger. Treatment may prevent later depression, anxiety and substance abuse disorders. You can read about this report in the Archives of General Psychiatry, June 2006. According to the standard psychiatric diagnostic manual, a diagnosis of IED includes:-- The person had 3 episodes of impulsive aggressiveness ‘grossly out of proportion to any precipitating psychosocial stressor' during his/her lifetime
The person suddenly lost control and smashed something worth more than a few dollars\ The person hit or tried to hurt someone(her husband) The person threatened to hit or hurt someone MEIf a person has had three episodes within the last 12 months he/she is considered to have a more persistent and severe disorder - especially if the episodes included attacking people and property. People with persistent and severe IED tend to cause 3.5 times more damage than other people with IED. People with severe IED have an average of 43 episodes with serious attacks during their lifetimes. ( something my best friend has to look forward to) researchers suggest that due to the stressful lives IED sufferers have,\which includes a high divorce rate and serious money problems, they are much more susceptible to having drug and alcohol abuse disorders, experiencing depression and/or anxiety.
