A member asked:
When angry w/ myself i will occasionally hit (5-6x) myself in the head with right fist w/ full strength. should i worry about brain damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly. : It really depends on how hard you are actually hitting yourself. My bigger concern is that you are doing that at all to manage your anger. I strongly encourage you to seek out evaluation asap by a certified behavioral health specialist to help you develop healthier and safer anger management skills. Take care.
