AB Although  impulse-control  disorders  are  often  thought  to  be  rare  conditions,  a  recent  replication  of  the  National  Comorbidity  Study  demonstrated  a  12-month  prevalence  rate  of  8.9%.  This  percentage,  however,  also  included  disorders  such  as  oppositional  defiant  disorder  (1%),  conduct  disorder  (1%),  and  attention-deficit/hyperactivity  disorder  (ADHD)  (4.1%).  Intermittent  explosive  disorder  was  reported  at  2.6%  of  the  surveyed  population.  Intermittent  explosive  disorder  and  pathological  gambling  (0.2–3.3%  of  populations  surveyed)  are  much  more  common  than  the  other  disorders  in  this  group.
