I've never considered borderline, I'll look into it. However, I was searching for information on rages, and did come across some information on the internet about 'limbic rage'.
I would like to say, that in my rages, though I usually destroy glass objects and other property and destroy furniture, I've also once violently attacked my mother (a few years ago), hitting her many times, because of something that happened that I did not like. I was in a deep stage of illness then, with severe depression and anger.
When I'm in a rage, I realize what's going on, but I cannot control it.
Anyway, I read that there are a form of seizures (not actually seizures) that are called, 'emotional seizures' or 'rage seizures', called seizures because it emanates because of abnormal electrical activity from the same limbic system that causes actual seizures, and is uncontrolled because of defects in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex's ability to modulate it. So one site says, that recently rage disorders have been come to be seen as neuropsychiatric problems, that doesn't always come from injuries or developmental problems, but also because of genetic manifestations that can run in families also. It causes chronic irritability and rage and aggression against others or property or self. I know mine is always chronic because when I'm un-medicated, I'm chronically extremely in a state of hyper-irritability and anger impulses all the freaking time.
"Why is the Limbic System Important for Neuropsychiatric Disorders?
Since this is our emotion brain, it is vulnerable to disorders in brain chemistry and in brain electrical activity. Some disorders run in families and are genetic in origin, while others are acquired by developmental brain damage (e.g.; drugs or alcohol used during pregnancy, or a difficult birth). A disorder in the emotion brain can produce emotions that are out-of-control. Extreme acts of violence, suicidal behavior, agitation, and mood swings can be due to disorders of this brain system."
BRAIN DISORDER INDICATORS:
Repetitive rage behavior (Pathological Aggression) with no provocation or gain
Impulsivity with impulsive aggression
Chronic irritability
Poor planning skills (runaway with no plan, no money, nowhere to go)
Short attention span & poor memoryIt goes on to list stuff like injuries and structural abnormalities also, which I don't have.
Anyway, some places online also say that since the emotional part of brain which is the limbic system, is located deep inside the brain, disorders of it don't always show up in an EEG and a qEEG is required which is an EEG with types of auditory and visual stimulation.
Do you think my rages could have anything to do with this "Limbic Rage"?
Also, one thing I forgot to mention, though I have had emotional problems since early age, when the disease worsened and I started getting severe rages and all, the school I was at also had bullies of a very sick type, and I became very self-conscious in social settings, and whether because of that, or because of some other reason, I found that I was so conscious that I was unable to speak properly, as if the words I said weren't pronounced properly or enunciated properly, but I had to repeat myself twice to others, and maybe because I became very conscious or maybe some other reason, I found that I was unable to soak in what other people said to me, it was like so much activity was going on in the classroom that I couldn't understand what others said to me in conversation. All that went away, after I was medicated (risperidone 3 mg for the rages) and my family made it a point to have me converse much. Anyway, just putting that in.
