it is not rare , in a case of 800 people, 789 had it.
[edit] Really?
Really?
I have it myself. Michael 21:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I recently did a research project on IED. Current research is showing that it may not be as rare as once thought. My studies show that as many as 2.25-4.5 million people have IED. If you would like to find out more information, you can see Cocarro. It's only "rare" because many times it is discounted or the behavior is attributed to other diagnoses.
[edit] IED Amok - Going Postal
The mention that some victims have amnesia of the events during the episode suggests that this is a dissociative mental break.
Culture Bound Syndromes have similar symptoms as Amok- Malaysia, and Going Postal- The United States.
VisionAndPsychosis.Net a private psychology project points out that a little known problem of physiology, a "conflict of physiology," allows exposure to visual Subliminal Distraction and accounts for these episodes.

The problem was discovered in the 1960's when it caused mental breaks for knowledge workers using the first prototypes of close-spaced office workstations. Those same circumstances can be created in primitive areas around the world when people live in small single-room traditional or ethnic housing. There have been fist fights over chess games on Russian space missions. There was a mental break on Soyuz21/Salut5. The space capsule was the single-room living and working space.
