What is Anger?

Everyone has likely experienced anger at some time or another. While certain
people become angry more often than others and have regular, intense outbursts,
others tend to bottle their feelings and then explode or erupt without warning.

Anger is a basic human emotion and a natural reaction to situations
beyond our control. There are a number of things that can trigger or contribute to
anger, such as the actions of another person (treating an animal unfairly), an event
(favorite football team is beaten), stress (losing the new account at work),
expectations not being met, feelings of hurt, disrespect, humiliation,
embarrassment, jealousy and sadness.

Depending on how it is managed and expressed, anger can be positive or
negative. It has positive consequences when angry feelings help you address a
problem or issue with yourself or another person and rectify the situation.

Dealing with anger positively enables you to put negative emotions into
perspective. When you want to let off steam, feel frustrated or upset, there are
constructive ways to channel your anger like listening to music or going to gym.
These are often used in treating anger disorders.

However, expressing anger in a negative way often leads to various unhealthy
behaviors such as violence and aggression. You may become out of control
and threatening to others. When anger interferes with your ability to think or act
clearly, this can cause you to invite unnecessary trouble to yourself.

If anger hampers your personal relationships with friends and family, leads to
violence, creates trouble in your professional life, or people fear your temper, you
may be suffering from anger disorders and treating anger becomes essential.

What Causes Anger?

Anger disorders are many times a consequence of anger that is suppressed or
bottled deep within. If the individual never admits or exposes anger, and therefore
hides their true feelings, anger disorders can occur. Individuals who have being
hurt badly or experienced some form of abuse and trauma often have difficulty
expressing emotions, and tend to internalize their anger.

This emotion is often transferred to other more harmful behaviors such as
drug and alcohol addiction, eating disorders, or self harm. Negative consequences
of suppressed anger can also result in tension, depression, and a breakdown in relationships.

Certain bodily reactions take place when a person experiences the emotion of
anger. Heart rate and blood pressure increase, and breathing becomes shorter and
faster. An individual may also become flushed, hot, sweaty, start to shake, and
clench his or her jaw.

As much as the signs of anger may differ from person to person, people express
their anger differently. Some may begin to yell, be abusive and insulting, break
down doors or resort to fist fights, throw things, or storm out, while others may
become quiet, depressed and introverted.
