What is "Explosive Personality Disorder"?

2021-04-15T03:34:07-04:00

On application to the Board for Correction of Naval Records,
the Board recommended that plaintiff be granted a 20 % disability
rating as of August 13 , 1964, that his 1972 discharge be nullified and
that other changes be made in his records. The Navy Secretary
approved the recommendations. Plaintiff argues here that the Navy
officials unreasonably construed the significant body of medical and
non -medical evidence before them in assigning a 20 % disability rating
for both his convulsive disorder and explosive personality disorder.

EPD is a disruptive, impulse-control, and conduct disorder. In short, it is a "Recurrent behavioral outburst representing a failure to control aggressive impulses as manifested by either" (1) Verbal Aggression, (2) Physical Aggression, or (3) outburst that involve damage or destruction to property as a couple of examples. This comes directly from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders -5. A simple google search would have probably answered your question faster than waiting for a response here on RP.
