Intermittent explosive disorder as disease mongering

Can it be another pharma-invented disease?

Sounds like a con, right? Yet it’s exactly what’s happening right now with Restless Legs Syndrome, Road Rage Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder and even Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Every one of these is utterly bogus. Completely fictitious. Designed for one sinister purpose: To sell drugs to people who don’t need them.

As reported in one news story, “Experts claim IED is caused by inadequate production of serotonin in the brain, which regulates our moods. It is felt that treatment with antidepressants can help the condition.”

Ah. Antidepressants. No such disorder is ever publicized, you see, unless there’s a “treatment” already available and approved by the FDA. Modern mental health has nothing to do with actually helping people and everything to do with marketing more drugs. No mental disorders exist except those for which medications are readily available.
