Due to a stressful lifestyle, we all get angry at some point or the other. Anger is a perfectly normal - sometimes healthy emotion for your mind and body but when anger becomes explosive and more frequent it can affect your health.
Anger stimulates the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, causing an increase in blood pressure, heart rate and breathing. It can also disturb the body's immune system, sleep and digestion. While anxiety, depression and headaches are short-term problems, in the long term, they can cause heart attacks.
Anger is perfectly normal, sometimes emotional. But when it starts a ecting your relationships, it becomes a problem. People with anger issues tend to hurt people around them by saying mean things. They will usually pick on something you have told them in con dence or something that bothers you personally. This makes their rebukes even harder to take.
Anger became part of everyday life. The renowned psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan, suggested that anger stems from a psychological defence against the threat of thought disruption. Anger creates a false world where we hide our weaknesses and feel that we have authority over the situation. In short, it creates a feeling of entitlement.
However, anger is nding its way into urban India and is starting to a ect relationships and social settings. Cities are associated with higher rates of mental health problems than rural areas, nearly 40% higher risk of depression, more than 20% higher anxiety, and more than double the risk of schizophrenia, in addition to more loneliness, isolation, and stress.
