Anger tells us we need to take action to put something right. It gives us strength and energy, and motivates us to act. But for some people, anger can get out of control and cause problems with relationships, work and even the law. Long-term, unresolved anger is linked to health conditions such as high blood pressure, depression, anxiety and heart disease. It's important to deal with anger in a healthy way that doesn't harm you or anyone else.

How common are anger problems?

In a survey by the Mental Health Foundation, 32% of people said they had a close friend or family member who had trouble controlling their anger and 28% of people said they worry about how angry they sometimes feel. Even though anger problems can have such a harmful effect on our family, work and social lives, most people who have them don't ask for help. In the same survey by the Mental Health Foundation, 58% of people said they didn't know where to seek help. Sometimes people don't recognise that their anger is a problem for themselves and for other people. They may see other people or things as the problem instead.

events in your past – if you have experienced events that made you angry but felt you couldn't express your anger, you may still be coping with those angry feelings Some people express anger verbally, by shouting. Sometimes this can be aggressive, involving swearing, threats or name-calling. Some people react violently and lash out physically, hitting other people, pushing them or breaking things. This can be particularly damaging and frightening for other people. Some of us show anger is passive ways, for example, by ignoring people or sulking. Other people may hide their anger or turn it against themselves. They can be very angry on the inside but feel unable to let it out. People who tend to turn anger inwards may harm themselves as a way of coping with the intense feelings they have. Young people are most likely to self harm.

The difference between anger and aggression

Some people see anger and aggression as the same thing. In fact, anger is an emotion that we feel while aggression is how some of us behave when we feel angry. Not everyone who feels angry is aggressive, and not everyone who acts aggressively is angry. Sometimes people behave aggressively because they feel afraid or threatened.

Alcohol and some illegal drugs can make people act more aggressively.

If uncontrolled anger leads to domestic violence, or threatening behaviour within your home, talk to your GP or contact a domestic violence organisation such as Refuge, Scottish Women's Aid, Abused Men in Scotland, The LGBT Domestic Abuse Project or Survivor Scotland.
