When a therapist is evaluating a patient who demonstrates intermittent loss of impulse control, it is important to look for the sequence of events that kindled the condition. Sometimes, one discovers an obsessional antecedent to the loss of control, and this may respond very well to antiobsessional medication. The woman in the example that follows could have had an intermittent explosive disorder, a personality disorder, or other diagnoses but given her poverty and lack of health care insurance or access, she would probably have received no treatment. Had she been wealthy, she might have received psychotherapy, which may have helped, given time. However, medication management did result in prompt remission of her symptoms, and it may have saved her life and that of her son. In some cases, medication consultation for a patient with one of the impulse control disorders can be a life-saving collaboration between therapist and physician (see case example below).
