[edit] Legal Defense

"It has been used as a legal defense successfully." - quoted from paragraph one with no reference. There should be some credible source for such a strong statement. Maybe a case to reference. KASSPER 03:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Really?

Really?

I have it myself. Michael 21:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I recently did a research project on IED. Current research is showing that it may not be as rare as once thought. My studies show that as many as 2.25-4.5 million people have IED. If you would like to find out more information, you can see Cocarro. It's only "rare" because many times it is discounted or the behavior is attributed to other diagnoses.

What crap - IED is what is commonly known as anger. This is another exmaple of researchers with too much time on their hands trying to overanalyse things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.27.251 (talk) 19:38, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IED Amok - Going Postal

The mention that some victims have amnesia of the events during the episode suggests that this is a dissociative mental break.

Culture Bound Syndromes have similar symptoms as Amok- Malaysia, and Going Postal- The United States.

VisionAndPsychosis.Net a private psychology project points out that a little known problem of physiology, a "conflict of physiology," allows exposure to visual Subliminal Distraction and accounts for these episodes.

The problem was discovered in the 1960's when it caused mental breaks for knowledge workers using the first prototypes of close-spaced office workstations. Those same circumstances can be created in primitive areas around the world when people live in small single-room traditional or ethnic housing. There have been fist fights over chess games on Russian space missions. There was a mental break on Soyuz21/Salut5. The space capsule was the single-room living and working space.
