Q: I was wondering if there is some kind of medication for anger management. I feel like I’m going to pop a cork at all times.

A: While there isn’t a specific medication for anger management, sometimes people with other issues have anger and high levels of irritability as symptoms.

Following are some conditions which may have anger or irritability as a symptom. (Note: This is not an exhaustive list.)

Bipolar disorder (formerly known as “manic-depressive disorder”)
Major depression
Posttraumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”)
Borderline personality disorder or other personality disorders
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (“PMDD”)
Dysthymia or chronic depression
General anxiety disorder (“GAD”)

It may be that if you have one of the above conditions antidepressant medication or anti-anxiety medication may be beneficial. Contact your physician or a psychiatrist to determine if you may be dealing with an undiagnosed mental health condition which could benefit from medication. For many conditions, such as depression, research has shown that a combination of talk therapy and medication is optimal.

Men tend to express their anger differently than women do. Research shows men are often more violent and less willing to confront and deal with their emotions than women. Written by a psychologist who specializes in the treatment of male rage, Beyond Anger shows the angry – and miserable – man how to change his life and relationships for the better. This book helps men understand their anger by explaining what the specific symptoms of chronic anger are and by showing angry men how their actions negatively affect family, friends, and coworkers. It helps men control violent feelings by using simple exercises – developed especially for men – to identify when and why anger occurs and by helping them form new habits to prevent anger before it starts. Women, too, will learn essential strategies for understanding and helping the angry men in their lives. Beyond Anger is honest, tough, and real.

Anger Management – Take Control of Your Reactions

admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 00:29:54 +0000

Anger management refers to the system of psychological techniques that help to manage uncontrollable anger and emotional reactions to unpleasant situations.

Learning to control your anger is not complicated once you apply a few basic principles and anger techniques. Just remember that it is much easier to learn to manage your anger than burying it deep down inside and not letting it out (so if you can bury it — you can definitely control it!). We have some simple steps you should take to achieve your anger management goals.

Think about the following tips when you are angry and it may help you to deal with the situation more effectively.

Learn to laugh at yourself – this can defuse a situation and can help you to get a grip on your emotions at the same time
Don’t take things personally – the world doesn’t revolve around you!
You can’t control other people so don’t even try.
And along with that, you have to realize that you can’t control your surroundings either – you can only control yourself and your own reactions.

Problem solving skills are useful to identify the problem and generate alternative solutions by considering the consequences of each solution and selecting an effective and appropriate response.

Other strategies include:

avoiding situations that make you angry
changing environments
focusing on something positive
engaging in substitute positive activities
and improving communication and social skills.

As mentioned above, humor can also be very useful, if it is constructive.

Just remember that expressing or releasing your anger is just as important as controlling it. Both skills are required, in balance, to keep you healthy.
