What Causes Fits Of Rage?

I have a question about my six year old daughter. Occasionaly, she will have fits of rage where she starts hitting, kicking, biting, scratching, and fighting in general. She won't make eye contact and does not seem to be mentally there. She will repeat herself over and over and will not change her answer despite what you ask her. She has done this since she was born in some form or fashion. It is not her personality to be this way, and she does not remember why she acted that way or why. She doesn't even remember what she does during what I have come to call "episodes". She normally gets a blank stare but completly goes into fits over nothing. The only thing I have really picked up, is that she will almost always have one of these "episodes" when she is tired. Any ideas on what could being going on to make her do this?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. As you say, such episodes could happen when they are tired and out of synchroniation. But in this case, this seems to be a bit more than normally expected. Attenton Deficit Disorders, Hyper activity, etc triggers irritation and anger and rage follows. In every possibility this child needs psychological evaluation with the help of psychometric tests. Please consult a psychologist.

If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
