Anger
Anger itself isn’t considered a mental health disorder because it is normal to become angry sometimes. However, it can be a symptom of other mental health conditions such as depression, OCD and bipolar disorder.
Anger can remind you of past negative experiences for example when you were hurt by someone but you didn’t know what to do to stop it. This can lead to frustration and angry thoughts which go over and over in your head. Anger can also be triggered by substance abuse. Talking about your anger in a safe place with people you can trust can alleviate you emotional pain.
If you are struggling with anger issues but don’t have an underlying mental health condition, the services listed via the self-help resources (see link below) offer advice and guidance.
