It claims road rage is a sign of a psychological condition, called IED - Intermittent Explosive Disorder.   "The symptoms are basically several episodes usually a year where you blow up and you'd break things, hit people, and do damage."   Researchers were surprised by how many Americans suffer from IED. Perhaps, up to 16 million that's higher than those with other mental illnesses, such as bipolar disorder schizophrenia. And they found one out of four, who have IED, also have relatives with the disorder.   Well, even in laid-back California, grid lock can get the best of us, but do drivers really believe that road rage is anything more than bad manners?   "I think it's just one of anger and impatience and frustration."   The study found that IED typically starts in adolescence, and involves inadequate serotonin, a mood regulating chemical in the brain. They say while there is no magic bullet for treatment, sufferers can curb their behavior with antidepressants and therapy, making for a safer, more relaxing ride on the road.
