What is the definition or description of: fits of rage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anger management: "Fits of rage" is not a psychological term officially but there are some diagnoses that include this as a symptom or part of the DSM5 criteria. There are many reasons why a person would be displaying rage and there would have to be a diagnostic interview to determine where the rage originates from and why. One diagnosis would be "intermittent explosive disorder."
