Support starts with understanding.
IED involves recurrent, impulsive aggressive outbursts that are out of proportion to the situation. Other mental health, medical, and substance-related explanations must be considered.
You can seek support even if you’re unsure how to describe what’s happening. Tell your provider how these changes affect your routines, relationships, and wellbeing.

FAQs.
Need help with appointments or insurance? Our front desk can answer your questions.
Call our teamIs IED the same as anger?
No. Anger alone is not IED. Diagnosis requires evaluation of recurrent outbursts and other possible explanations.
Can I use an online inquiry during an immediate safety concern?
No. Appointment requests are not monitored as an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, seek emergency assistance.
How do I request an appointment?
Call 325-480-2900 or contact our front desk. Share your main concerns so the team can discuss provider availability and appropriate appointment options.
Can I use my insurance?
