title: [Pharmacological treatment of the intermittent explosive disorder. Report of three cases and literature review].
abstract: The treatment of intermittent explosive disorder is still empirical, although it tries to use drugs according to present knowledge on neurobiology of aggression. We report three patients in which a good control of aggressive behavior was achieved using inhibitors of serotonin reuptake and carbamazepine. We review the literature on pharmacologic treatment of aggressive behavior.
