What Causes Anger

There are several situations that can cause a person to feel angry. Here are just a few triggers known to cause anger:

Stress

Family/relationship issues

Financial problems

Alcoholism

Drug Addiction

Depression and other mental health issues

Grief

Past physical, verbal or emotional abuse

Intense and regular feelings of anger are not considered a disorder; however, uncontrolled anger and frequent outbursts can be symptoms of an underlying mental health condition. Your anger issues could be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, intermittent explosive disorder or something else. If you feel angry more often than not, it’s crucial you speak with a doctor or therapist to determine any potential mental illnesses that may be associated.
