Anger Problems in Yuma: When Mental Health Support May Help
Anger is a normal emotion.
The concern is when anger repeatedly creates consequences you do not want.
Examples include:
- arguments you later regret;
- damaged relationships;
- problems at work;
- yelling or threatening behavior;
- breaking objects;
- difficulty calming down;
- avoiding situations because you fear your reaction.
Look for the Pattern
For several recent episodes, record:
Trigger: What happened?
Thought: What went through your mind?
Reaction: What did you do?
Consequence: What happened next?
A pattern can be more useful to a provider than simply saying, “I have anger issues.”
What Else Might Be Contributing?
A clinician may also consider:
- chronic stress;
- sleep problems;
- trauma;
- substance use;
- relationship conflict;
- mood symptoms;
- impulsivity.
