How Can Anger Affect You?

Anger can affect your digestion causing medical conditions such as heartburn and ulcers. It can push up your blood pressure and cause heart problems. It can also mean that you catch more bugs, such as colds and flu due to a less effective immune system.

Emotionally, anger can make you more prone to addictions, depression and compulsive behaviour.

What should you do if you regularly get angry, or you know someone who does?

Recognising that you, or someone close to you, has an anger problem is a positive step, because then you can do something about it.

Learning about anger and anger management is a good start. Some simple actions can help, so have a look at MIND, a charity which helps people take control of their mental health, or NHS Choices. It is also a good idea to speak to your doctor.
