Consult a Psychology Counsellor for Anger Symptoms

Full-blown and overpowering anger is a destructive emotional state. Anger could only become a mental and behavioural disorder if it already affects you and the people around you. It is imperative to consult a psychology counsellor for cases of chronic and excessive rage which spins out of control. Seeking advice from the experts could help determine the best possible and effective therapies for your dilemma. There are both emotional and physiological or tangible symptoms for anger problems.

Here are some of the emotional symptoms of an anger-related behavioural disorder. It ranges from simple or mild irritation to rage:

  • Sadness or depression
  • Irritation
  • The desire or urge to escape from the trigger factors or situation
  • Guilt
  • Resentment
  • The desire to verbally and physically lash out
  • Anxiety

 

There are other possible occurrences for overwhelming and uncontrollable anger manifesting in behavioural issues:

  • Compulsive pacing around
  • Excessively rubbing of face with the palm or hand
  • Clasping one hand and becoming fidgety
  • Loss of sense of humour
  • Becoming sarcastic and cynical about everything
  • Becoming abusive and rude
  • Tendency to cry, scream and yell
  • Craving for substances which you feel could make you relax or calm down such as cigarettes, drugs or alcohol

 

Aside from the emotional and behavioural symptoms, there are also onsets of the physiological manifestations of anger:

  • Sweating
  • Breathlessness or rapid and shallow breathing
  • Dizziness
  • Tingling sensation at the back specifically the neck
  • Accelerated or increased heart rate
  • Stomach upset
  • Grinding teeth
  • Hot flashes specifically in the neck or face
  • Trembling lips, jaw and hands
  • Clenching of the jaw

 

There are even worse and life-threatening symptoms of anger. Unaddressed and untreated anger could definitely do havoc to health and the overall wellbeing of a person. Hence, prompt and immediate consultation with a psychology counsellor is of utmost importance. Therapy is not possible without prior diagnosis.
