Yes: Anger can trigger anxiety & panic, especially in contexts where feeling intense anger might not be perceived as "safe." in these situations anger can be swiftly followed by fear. Getting involved in psychotherapy helps one become more aware of situations which trigger these feelings, so as to take care of them before things feel overwhelming. This is part of what medication alone cannot replace.
