Anger management issues can look different for you than for others. You may experience difficulties managing emotions, such as coping with anger. This can lead to aggressive outbursts, passive-aggressiveness, and suppressed frustration. Those who struggle with emotion regulation may be irritable and struggle with impulse control.
For some, anger stems from other emotions that may be uncomfortable or unknown. This can include frustration, unresolved traumas, underlying mental health distress, and resentments. Anger can also look different from person to person. For some, external changes like turning red, clenching fists, and yelling may occur. Others may experience internal changes like high blood pressure, headaches, appetite changes, and stomach discomfort.
When left untreated, anger issues can compound into bigger challenges. Suppressing emotions may feel like a good idea at the moment, however, without returning to process these emotions you may be increasing your risk for continued challenges and difficulties. Therapy clinics can offer anger management therapy options that focus on coping with frustration and managing aggressive behaviors. This can improve your level of functioning, and decrease the negative impact that anger issues have.

Unresolved trauma from your childhood can contribute to difficulties with emotion regulation and healthy conflict resolution in adulthood. This may occur for those who experienced abuse, neglect, and unstable living environments. Early childhood experiences have an undeniable impact on our develop of coping, communication, and problem-solving skills which all play a role in dealing with emotional outbursts.
Underlying emotional discomfort can stem from previous relationships, unresolved conflicts, and your perceived failures.

Anger issues can manifest in different forms. For some, anger control issues are invasive and persistent because they are tied to an underlying mental health condition. This is not the case for everyone, which is why it’s important to receive comprehensive mental health assessments that explore the types of challenges your anger creates.
Individuals who experience persistent feelings of frustration, resentment, and bitterness may be living with chronic anger. Chronic anger can be rooted in unresolved conflicts, grudges, and dissatisfaction with their career or relationships. In addition to psychological effects, chronic stress can lead to physical health concerns like high blood pressure.
Passive-aggressiveness is known for indirectly addressing conflicts. This can involve indirect behaviors like sarcasm, the silent treatment, and intentional procrastination. Passive-aggressiveness can lead to emotional suppression and resentments because you’re not using healthy conflict resolution skills. Recovery centers can help you learn emotion regulation skills and effective communication skills.
Explosive anger disorder, also known as Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), is known for uncontrollable and sudden outbursts of anger or rage. These episodes can include yelling, physical aggression, or destruction of property in some cases. Feelings of regret are common once the outbursts and intense anger has resolved, though it is incredibly challenging to control emotional reactions.
Suppressed anger can occur when you bottle up your emotions and do not express or process them. This form of avoidance can lead to the development of passive-aggressiveness, depressive symptoms, and resentments. Suppressed anger is more common among those who struggle with anger awareness, and struggle to effectively communicate their thoughts and feelings with others.
