Fits of rage
"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."
