According to NHS, most people feel angry sometimes, but if it’s affecting your life, there are things you can try that may help.
Anger can cause many different symptoms. It might affect how you feel physically or mentally, or how you behave.
See a doctor if:
1. you’re struggling to cope with stress, anxiety or depression
2. you’ve had a low mood for more than 2 weeks
3. things you’re trying yourself are not helping
4. you would prefer to get a referral from a doctor.
Immediate action required:
Call emergency number or go to A&E now if:
1. you or someone you know needs immediate help
2. you have seriously harmed yourself, for example, by taking a drug overdose.
A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.
Causes of anger
There are many different causes of anger and it’s different for everyone.
Some common things that make people feel angry include:
1. being treated unfairly and feeling powerless to do anything about it
2. feeling threatened or attacked
3. other people not respecting your authority, feelings or property
4. being interrupted when you’re trying to achieve a goal.
How you react to anger can depend on lots of things, including:
1. the situation you’re in at the moment, if you’re dealing with lots of problems or stress, you may find it harder to control your anger
2. your family history, you may have learned unhelpful ways of dealing with anger from the adults around you when you were a child
3. events in your past, people who experience traumatic, frightening or stressful events sometimes develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which can lead to angry outbursts
4. substances such as drugs and alcohol, which make some people act more aggressively than usual.
Some of the things that make you angry may not bother other people at all.
You might find it hard to explain why you feel this way but talking to someone could help you find a solution.
