Anger Management

Angry is a natural emotion and we all experience it from time to time.  Anger can come as a displeasure or resentment and usually this is a health response.  In addition, anger can be a normal response to feeling sad, lonely or frightened.  However, if anger turns into rage, it can impair judgement and things, making people more likely to do and say senseless or irrational things.  If anger is interfering with your quality of life, seeing a mental heath professional might be the most effective approach.
