CHICAGO - To you, that angry, horn-blasting tailgater is suffering from road rage. But doctors have another name for it — intermittent explosive disorder — and a new study suggests it is far more common than they realized, affecting up to 16 million Americans.

"People think it's bad behavior and that you just need an attitude adjustment, but what they don't know ... is that there's a biology and cognitive science to this," said Dr. Emil Coccaro, chairman of psychiatry at the University of Chicago's medical school.

Road rage, temper outbursts that involve throwing or breaking objects and even spousal abuse can sometimes be attributed to the disorder, though not everyone who does those things is afflicted.

Ahh the physic babble never stops does it? This bit of pseudo science is brought to you by the same people who want to drug all children just in case the children might turn violent. You'll also note that a monetary sum is attached so you know the insurance underwriters have their fingers in this pie. Never let be said that any perceived problem in this nation cannot have a dollar amount attached to it and that my friends is the bottom line.
