What is anger?
Anger is a strong emotional state of being upset or frustrated which makes a person hurt someone for doing something unkind to them. The causes of anger are multifactorial. Abusive past, suppressed emotions, stress, living in an environment where people get angry often, poor self-esteem, low tolerance levels are a few factors that make a person prone to getting angry easily. Genes, too, play a significant role in how a person reacts to a situation and the intensity with which he/she reacts to a situation. Anger is a natural emotion and is safe as long as it is mild, expressed appropriately and resolves quickly. It is when anger swings to extremes, is aroused by the most trivial issues, leads to disturbed relationships or is difficult to cope with that it becomes a condition that needs treating.
What are the different types of anger?
Anger has various types. Major among these are as follows:
- Verbal anger – In this type of anger, the person expresses anger in words.
- Passive anger – People with this type of anger are never direct about expressing their anger. Instead, they use tools such as sarcasm (sharp, bitter remarks) to show their feelings.
- Self-inflicted anger – People prone to this type of anger tend to harm or punish themselves for some wrong they believe they have done. Such persons may start to eat too much or too little or show self-destructive behavior.
- Sudden anger – Such persons lose their temper quickly, but get out of the angry frame of mind just as fast.
- Overwhelmed anger – This type of anger appears when a person is unable to cope with the circumstances or situations taking place around them anymore. This type of anger is mostly expressed by shouting.
- Chronic anger – Chronic anger is prolonged anger and is often linked with depression.
What are the long-term effects of anger?
Getting angry makes a person prone to various health issues, both on the mental and physical plane. The physical complaints include high blood pressure, digestion problems, headaches and migraines. The mental complaints include depression, insomnia and anxiety issues.

My boyfriend of 17 years ( we are both 52 and have a14 year old daughter together) has a growing anger issue. When he’s around other people he’s very witty, funny and most times personable, especially if those people ate complete strangers. When he is at home, he gets angry at the littlest things, we’ll make smart comments towards others, and will not respond when you try top speak with him unless its about something trivial or something that he can make you laugh about. He loves to be the center of attention, but if the attention is taken off of him he gets angry over the littlest things. His main focus in life is getting up for work going to work. He will spend excess amount of time preparing his uniform, making his lunch, Etc. Once he comes home from work he watches TV he eats and takes naps. He is verbally abusive towards me, towards his parents. He does take vitamins so I am wondering what supplements would be good to help his anger issues and keep this family together. I’m at my Wit’s End and I’m ready to walk away yet again from him. I know he’s a good person, I just don’t know how to help him control his anger, and he doesn’t see that he has a problem with it. As long as he goes to work comes home pays the bills nothing else seems to matter to him. Please let me know which supplement you advise. Thank you

Hello Dr. Sharma,
I am very thankful to have found this article. I have been battling anger and rage for quite sometime now and it has worsened as a parent of a 2 and 5 year old. I find myself screaming over every little thing they do. And at times I say hurtful things to them and then find myself feeling beyond guilty. I don’t seem to have control over it. It takes over. I have had a very difficult childhood and teen years and went through a lot of things a young girl should not have to. I’ve gone to counseling, I pray a lot and I try my best but I really need help. I feel I am ruining my kids. I’m starting to see anger in both the kids and explosiveness. I don’t even know you and I am writing all this to you but it’s because I am desperate. I believe in homeopathy and prefer this route over medicine. I would appreciate any help. I am not sure which remedy to purchase from the above article on anger. Thank you so much in advance.
My son about age 14 become very angry in any situation shouted in high voice and making urguement in every expect how he control from this
“Before then, all I had to invest was time. I really had to spend a lot of time away from my family; I had to spend a lot of time travelling to the US, to Canada, to Switzerland,Michael Kors Outlet, always studying about coffee,” the entrepreneur said.
We adopted our son from China. He is now 8 years old. He was in an orphanage early in his life and he exhibits many of the traits that other children from orphanages do. He gets so angry a the slightest thing (e.g. he can run out of the room screaming because we made something for breakfast he did not want that day or he woke up before we got him up and he gets angry and disregulated and goes downhill from there. He often curses. He also gets violent and has thrown things and often hits. He also talks in a baby voice when he gets disregulated (even if he is not angry).
What do you suggest to help him with his dysregulation? When he is not disregulated, he is the best child, so kind, loving and helpful and full of wisdom and insight.
