  • Anger Management Simplified: Trileptal and a Two-Minute Speech

    Anger Management Simplified: Trileptal and a Two-Minute Speech
    Feb 6 2025
    Episode 8: How childhood neurodevelopment turns into road rage, or becomes rewired completely. You decide. (This one will save loss, pain, and lives.) Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is an official diagnosis for an anger control problem. It is characterized by impulsive, unexpected anger and aggression that is disproportionate to the situation. The diagnosis code is F63.81 in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision. From the outside, the world sees an angry person, but they are often riddled with guilt about their behavior. If unable to modify the personality and self-care to accommodate for IED, these people burn all their bridges and wind up totally alone. They need to Mindshift. https://vimeo.com/1054709890 Download the Ambassador Slides HANDOUT to share. Trileptal and My 2-Minute Speech "When a threat is perceived, adrenaline triggers an uncontrollable reaction. Intermittent explosive disorder is a hard-wired anger reaction, almost always originating from PTSD. This is why traditional cognitive approaches to anger management are often inadequate. It is exactly the opposite of a trained operator or martial artist. However, if the brain is exposed to enough toxicity, a veteran will slowly lose their brain's ability to inhibit. A mood-stabilizer is a "10 second fuse". It will let you notice the feeling without impulsively acting on it. Walk away from the anger-provoking situation the first 5 times you get mad, so you can learn how the medication will help you go calm yourself down. Then, practice talking through your problems knowing you can now walk away if you need to, so eventually you won't have to live in fear of your anger or be made to feel like a doormat." Trying to overcome IED without help is like dancing stoned on the edge of cliff. By definition, not taking life-threatening behavior seriously is absolutely the most irresponsible decision for mental health. Afterall, mental health equals self-care. Why won't this work on children? From the outside, children and adults look the same emotionally with temper tantrums. The adult with IED, however, is overreacting in anger despite a previous decision to keep anger under control. Children haven't yet made decisions on the kind of person they want to be (superego), they are running into a nonstop series of life lessons and reflexively react based upon their hardwired subconscious programming. It's not the kid's fault. By that same logic, it's also technically not the adult's "fault", but it is their responsibility. Adults in the heat-of-the-moment react violently without a conscious choice - the prefrontal cortex is not involved in a decision until after the action has begun. Trying to stop yourself once your anger has progressed to screaming and violence is literally trying to overcome all of your life's pains and griefs that have come to bear, and in the most dangerous and unhealthy way possible. You need to Mindshift. Notice the division between Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in children and Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) in Adults in Figure 1: Psychotherapy mirrors neurodevelopment across the lifespan. This means that the different psychotherapies that helps these psychiatric diagnoses as we age support our understanding of brain health and its misuse: ADHD: primarily medication ODD: primarily behavioral therapy on the part of the guardians IED: the patient can begin to rewrite their neural wiring by repetitive behavioral change and extinguishing unhealthy dopamine-raising behaviors. Anxiety, panic, depression: all have great research for cognitive behavioral therapy Clinical dementia: and we're back to behavioral therapy only again. Medications slow the progression of memory loss, at best, but don't restore cognitive function once it's lost. Detox does!

  • Practice Guidelines for Serious Mental Illness

    Practice Guidelines for Serious Mental Illness

    Episode 7: Teaching tool for medication classes in severe psychiatric illnesses. Figure 1. This is the table of contents for the Clinical Handbook I wrote as a teaching tool for advance practitioners. I taped the below graphic on the walls of each office where I supervised a busy psychiatric urgent care. It was helpful in explaining modern medication management approaches in an easy-to-understand format. The 100-Day Mindshift by Dr. Daniel Williams helps primary care and mental health programs that don't have time to explain the Clinical Practice Guidelines from the American Psychiatric Association. Figure 2: Treatment Guidelines for Serious Mental Illness. https://vimeo.com/1054650093 Download the Ambassador Slides HANDOUT to share. What is considered a "Serious Mental Illness"? Major depressive disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder type 1 are considered Serious Mental Illnesses. Lobbyists aren't yet successful with getting PTSD added to the list. Medications are frequently used to treat dozens of mental health-related symptoms, but this episode will focus on Serious Mental Illnesses. Summary of Diagnostic Criteria for Serious Mental Illnesses *Major depressive disorder ~ 2 weeks of a collection of low mood and neurovegetative symptoms (appetite, sleep, energy, concentration, motivation, psychomotor agitation or retardation) with or without suicidal thoughts and psychotic features. Schizophrenia ~ 6 months of predominantly psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations, delusions. Bipolar disorder ~ 7 days of a manic episode ever in life, including the combination of decreased need for sleep, grandiosity, and euphoria. Episodes can be depressed, manic, or mixed. Schizoaffective disorder ~ Clinically significant depressive or manic episodes, but psychosis remains when the mood episodes are in remission for at least 2 weeks. Bipolar Disorder is frequently confused with Intermittent Explosive Disorder Western culture defines "bipolar" as impulsive anger flares. This is nothing like the manic episodes of bipolar disorder and it is possible to have an anger problem too. Intermittent Explosive Disorder is truly an anger problem diagnosis. Features include unplanned, violent overreactions, such as arguments, punching holes, breaking cell phones and TV remotes. The guilt from the outbursts is often enough to trigger a full major depressive disorder, unless the person is antisocial and has no guilt. In my practice... A holistic approach to Intermittent Disorder would include Trileptal and a 2-Minute Speech, energy release work, and the Definite Major Purpose worksheet. Definite Major Purpose WORKSHEETDownload
