If you have temperamental or moody people in your life who are likely to explode at any minute, it is a good idea to try to understand why these people act the way that they do. Some researchers have long believed that these kinds of irritable people might be dealing with some type of psychological disorder, such as depression or anxiety. By helping people to better handle their psychological issues, they may learn healthier coping mechanisms for their anger issues.
Key Takeaways:
- Everyone has trouble controlling their anger due to every day frustrations in their life.
- An interesting piece of research is that if you used a drug in the past month of their research they found a higher rate of anger attacks with those subjects.
- Anger and psychological disorders are related but they do not tell the entire story when it comes to rage.
“According to psychologist Nienke de Bles and colleagues (2019), of Leiden University in the Netherlands, the source of both chronic anger and episodes of rage may lie in the psychological disorders of anxiety and depression.”
