One of the most challenging and difficult things to manage emotions is anger. It’s pretty common to get upset when someone cuts you off on the freeway; when the clerk at the store does not pay attention to you because he is texting on his cell phone; when your friends get together without inviting you; when your boss micromanages every aspect of your work, when your (fill in the blanks here). But these episodes pass quickly, and people usually forget about these small events soon. But when they start piling up inside, they give birth to anger. Some people prefer keeping their anger bottled up inside. They burn in silence for days, weeks, months, even years until one day people around them witness a seemingly out-of-the-blue outburst. Many people dump their anger on others. When they get upset, they yell, shout, and even bring physical, emotional, and mental harm to people around them. Others are just afraid of their anger. They feel that if they are experiencing this emotion, they’ve done something inappropriate. They feel something is wrong with them. Anger, when not managed appropriately, can cause great damage. Anger, when not dealt with properly, can cloud your judgment and lead to poor choices. When people give in to their anger it can lead to temper tantrums, rage fits, and sometimes, even verbal, or physical violence. In addition to this, anger can destroy your relationships; it can have negative impacts on your personal and professional life; it can take a toll on your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. In this article, we’ll discuss how mismanaged anger is detrimental to your health. How anger affects your mental health: When you experience anger, it triggers a series of processes and chemical reactions inside your brain. The first process commences in the amygdale with a spark, which activates the hypothalamus, which in turn signals the pituitary gland inside your brain by carrying out the discharge of a corticotropin-releasing hormone. The pituitary gland then puts the adrenal glands into active mode, which releases stress hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol, and noradrenaline. When cortisol levels get elevated in the brain, the neurons accept too much calcium, which makes the firing of cells frequent, eventually killing them. Loss of neurons clouds your judgment and keeps you from making rational decisions. It also prevents the creation of new neurons, and the reduced activity weakens your short-term memory. It also lessens your ability to remember things. This is why people often forget about the claims and words they speak during a heated discussion or while having an intense argument.
