Anger has a tremendous effect on your mental health. That much is obvious. It distorts our thinking, drags us into depression, keeps us constantly boiling inside and constantly keeps us in a state of war.

From there, it spreads out to disrupt our outside life - our studies, work, friends, romances, family relationships. It even hurts us physically - many extremely dangerous conditions such as cancer and high blood pressure are linked to anger.

First of all, we have to understand what anger is. Anger is not wrong in any way. Yes, I believe we can transcend it, but to make ourselves wrong for being angry will only hurt us more.

There are many things that occurs which triggers anger. If you are unable to channel this psychological reaction effectively it will cause you to take actions or say things that you might regret afterwards. Mr. Laurence J Peter said: “Speak when you are angry – and you will make the best speech you’ll ever regret.”

Despite the apparent over saturation of anger management consciousness there still seems to be a lack of clarity about what anger management is and when it is appropriate. I get many inquires by phone or through our website daily. Some of these inquires are legitimate and appropriate for anger management and others are not. Funny enough, every person whose anger is severe is not appropriate for anger management. Those who have persistent mental health problems, are drug addicted, have a history of domestic violence may not be appropriate for anger management or may benefit from anger management only if the anger management class is also combined with treatment by a licensed mental health profession. Anyone whose anger is severe, frequent, intense and long lasting should seek the advise of an anger management professional.
