What are anger problems?
Aggression is a natural emotion that everyone experiences at times, but when anger becomes difficult to control and leads to impulsive or destructive behaviour, it can be a sign of an anger problem. It can manifest itself in sudden outbursts of anger, verbal or physical outbursts, difficulty managing frustration and a general feeling of being irritable.
Anger problems can have a negative impact on both the sufferer and those around them, leading to problems in relationships, at work or in social settings. There is often an underlying cause, such as stress, trauma, low self-esteem or lack of impulse control. By understanding your reactions and learning strategies to manage anger in a healthy way, you can improve your quality of life and your relationships with others.
How does a test for anger problems work?
A self-test for anger management problems can give an indication of whether you have difficulties managing your anger. The test consists of questions about your reactions to different situations, your feelings of frustration and how your anger affects you and others around you.
This test measures, among other things:
- How often you feel irritated or angry.
- How you react when you get frustrated.
- Whether your anger leads to impulsive behaviour.
- How your anger affects your everyday life and relationships.
The test is not a substitute for a professional assessment, but it can help you reflect on your behaviour and whether it might be time to seek help or develop strategies to manage your anger better.
What can you do if you have anger problems?
If you find that you have difficulty controlling your anger, you can:
- Learn about triggers – Identify what makes you angry and find ways to deal with these situations.
- Practise relaxation techniques – Breathing exercises, mindfulness and physical activity can help reduce anger.
- Develop better communication strategies – Expressing emotions in a constructive way can reduce conflict.
- Seek professional help – Therapy, especially cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), can be very effective in managing anger and impulsivity.
