It is natural for a person to display anger. Anger is a healthy emotion, however if you find yourself more angry than necessary, it could be due to certain conditions or medicines.

Medical findings have proved that, there are a number of medical conditions and medicines that has been reported which increase anger among individuals.

Medical Reasons
1. Overactive thyroid.
Overactive thyroid(hyperthyroidism) it is a condition that is most common among women. Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone. It is linked to why some parents often shout or yell at their children and si others too. Thyroid hormone affects everything that has to do with your metabolism. It also can increase your restlessness, nervousness and can cause difficulty concentrating. It is another big reason why you are constantly angry.

2. Severe Depression.
When you are in a state of depression it often leads to unstable emotional state like feelings of worthlessness, shame or guilt. Despair and irritability go hand in hand with people who have severe depression. Moreover, men are more likely than women to have more violent outbursts as a result, and when this anger is turned inward, it often leads to other unhealthy conditions. Also, this mood disorder can be controlled or treated with medication and therapy. So, severe depression and its related moods can lead to anger and agitation when you least expect it without a clue why you are unnecessary angry.

3. Diabetes
Those who are suffering from diabetes, are highly susceptible to anger. Because low blood sugar is a contributing factor to anger issues. Diabetes in a way tends to lower the serotonin level in the body that helps maintain a chemical balance in the brain. If a diabetic person can maintain their glucose level it will help avoid occasional out bursts of anger.

So, an imbalance in sugar levels can leads to an imbalance of chemicals in the brain such as serotonin. This can lead to aggression, anger, confusion and even panic attack.

4. Sleeping Pills
Due to life uncertainty most people suffer from insomnia and doctors or physicians often prescribe benzodiazepines to treat it. However, for those who are already predisposed to fits of anger, these drugs can have harmful side effects such as violent outbursts of anger. People who have an aggressive personality may want to avoid these drugs if anger management becomes problematic.

In nutshell, benzodiazepine, function by slowing down a variety for brain functions. With the reduction of some brain functions, sleeping tablets can make an already irritable person even more irritable.

5. PMS, PMDD, and Menopause
Medical research has proved that PMS, PMDD and MENOPAUSE in female can affect the hormonal structure of female depending on their body chemistry. For women to experience agitation and irritability during premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause is not a strange occurrence. There is a drop in hormones, specifically serotonin during this period of hormonal change. Hence, for women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), although a less frequent form of PMS, levels of anger can become extreme.

Life Situation and Emotional Distress

1. Fear
People who go through a traumatic event sometimes develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and people who have PTSD disorder are in a constant state of fear. They tend to go into a survival mode causing them to lose their tempers, and if their anger gets out of control it turns to rage. These people sometimes feel like harming themselves or others.

2. Powerlessness
All of us experience a feeling of powerlessness at some point in our lives. Whether it’s a national tragedy, or a personal loss, the guilt associated with powerlessness can trigger episodes of anger. When anger due to powerlessness strikes, activities such as joining a volunteer group may help with releasing those angry feelings.


3. Frustration
Frustration, as it relates to anger, is sometimes caused by trauma or loss. People may find themselves lashing out and blaming others even though they may not have had anything to do with it. This is called displaced anger and it can affect others both emotionally and physically. If uncontrolled could lead violent anger and even depression.

4. Pain from the Past
Abuse and trauma are the hallmarks of pain and anger associated the past. What causes this is a life event from long ago and can crop up under seemingly normal circumstances. This happens because certain events are so traumatic the only defence for the brain is to block the memory out. However, the memory never completely goes away.

5. Bad Habits
Everyone has experienced anger and irritability for no real reason from time to time.We usually get over it in a short period of time. However, adolescents and teens, with their hormones running rampant, can sometimes get into a habit of being angry all the time. This is not healthy even for them, never mind those that are around them.

6. Feeling Overwhelmed or Exhausted
We all know what it’s like to feel physically exhausted from time to time, and normally a good night’s rest brings back a sense of normalcy. However, combine physical exhaustion with sleep deprivation and mental stress, and you have a recipe for some real anger issues leaving you totally overwhelmed.

7. Jealousy
Petty jealousy is a normal emotion for most people, but for those that are constantly on guard, with an unrelenting suspicion and mistrust of others, can bring about unhealthy feelings of anger. These beliefs are generally unfounded, and so are their blame and mistrust. This often may interfere with their abilities to form meaningful relationships.

8. Co-Dependency
People with co-dependency tendencieshave a low self-esteem. In order for them to feel good about themselves, they need the validation of others. They are totally relying on another’s views and thoughts. Absent the validation, they are unable to find their own identity or self-worth, and they fly off the handle with fits of anger.

9. Hurt Feelings
People who get their feelings hurt go through a roller coaster of emotions. For some, the feelings of betrayal and anger are too much to bear. It can be extremely difficult overcoming those feelings, and a feeling of intense sadness, accompanied sometimes by guilt, all too often leads to uncontrollable anger with devastating results.

10. Manipulation
This best defines the bully. Bullies’ are those who use their anger to punish, manipulate, and disparage another for their own benefit. They often scream, threaten, or use foul and abusive language in front of others to help boost their own self-esteem and get their way.
