Abstract
The study examined non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) prevalence among 500 individuals with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) as compared to 500 psychiatric controls. The IED group reported a higher rate of NSSI even after controlling for comorbidity. Indirect effects of aggression, impulsivity, and affect lability on the IED-NSSI relationship were significant.
