Take a breath: Anger can be part of your fight or flight response, and taking in some deep breaths, holding for 4 secs letting out slowly, holding again and repeating can help clear your head and regain perspective. Individuals who get chronically angry do have high risk of psychi atric and medical illness and working with a psychologist to better manage and cope overall will likely be the best course.

Anger: Agree with dr. Bordini. Note that you also have mood swings - start with a medical eval. Cognitive behavioral therapy is excellent for dealing with anger problems. Getting physical through aerobic activity is an excellent way to help keep anger in check. There are more serene ways to do it – including tai chi, qi gong, acupuncture, massage & meditation. Avoid drugs & don't look alcohol as a solution.

Anger mgt classes?: Anger is a normal human emotion. However, some people become angry over seemingly trivial things. The intensity of their anger may be excessive for the situation. If this is the case it is important to check out the cause. How anger is expressed behaviorally is very important. If expressed aggressively or w violence – that could be problematic. Passive- agressive expression of anger does not help.

Anger: Realize that anger is often a cover up for more fundamental feelings like hurt, sadness and fear. Confide in a friend who can help you slow down and uncover the origin of your distress.
