What is anger?
Anger is a strong emotional state of being upset or frustrated which makes a person hurt someone for doing something unkind to them. The causes of anger are multifactorial. Abusive past, suppressed emotions, stress, living in an environment where people get angry often, poor self-esteem, low tolerance levels are a few factors that make a person prone to getting angry easily. Genes, too, play a significant role in how a person reacts to a situation and the intensity with which he/she reacts to a situation. Anger is a natural emotion and is safe as long as it is mild, expressed appropriately and resolves quickly. It is when anger swings to extremes, is aroused by the most trivial issues, leads to disturbed relationships or is difficult to cope with that it becomes a condition that needs treating.
What are the different types of anger?
Anger has various types. Major among these are as follows:
- Verbal anger – In this type of anger, the person expresses anger in words.
- Passive anger – People with this type of anger are never direct about expressing their anger. Instead, they use tools such as sarcasm (sharp, bitter remarks) to show their feelings.
- Self-inflicted anger – People prone to this type of anger tend to harm or punish themselves for some wrong they believe they have done. Such persons may start to eat too much or too little or show self-destructive behavior.
- Sudden anger – Such persons lose their temper quickly, but get out of the angry frame of mind just as fast.
- Overwhelmed anger – This type of anger appears when a person is unable to cope with the circumstances or situations taking place around them anymore. This type of anger is mostly expressed by shouting.
- Chronic anger – Chronic anger is prolonged anger and is often linked with depression.
What are the long-term effects of anger?
Getting angry makes a person prone to various health issues, both on the mental and physical plane. The physical complaints include high blood pressure, digestion problems, headaches and migraines. The mental complaints include depression, insomnia and anxiety issues.
Homeopathy can help control anger
There is great scope in Homeopathy for treating anger issues. Homeopathic medicines work on a dynamic plane, going to the deeper levels of the brain to modify angry temperaments. They help balance the mood and negative thoughts that lead to anger. Homeopathic medicines used for treating anger are natural, safe and are not habit-forming. The appropriate medicine is selected after a detailed study of the case history and symptoms. Special emphasis is placed on the childhood history of the person to trace the root cause of the anger. Some top rated Homeopathic medicines used for treating anger issues are Nux Vomica, Chamomilla, Staphysagria, Aurum Met and Tarentula Hispanica.

प्रिय डाक्टर जी, 🙏 मेरा नाती 7 वर्ष का है। बेटी की सरकारी नौकरी के चलते वह अपने बेटे के साथ हमारे साथ ही रहती है। हमारे दामाद जी और उनके पिता जी दोनों को बहुत ही गुस्सा आता है। ठीक वैसा ही गुस्सा हमारे नाती को भी आता है। हालांकि बहुत तेज दिमाग है, पढ़ाई में भी अच्छा है। लेकिन गुस्सा आने पर संभालना मुश्किल होता है। लगता है कि उसकी यह आनुवंशिक समस्या है। उचित मार्गदर्शन कीजिए। धन्यवाद!
Hi Dr,
I am a 39 year old lady who suffers emotionally, with regular angry outbursts and tends to throw, and yell a lot and reacts very quickly to things, becomes very irritable when I am on my period, (leading up to and during). Otherwise i am a very happy, positive person with a great outlook on life. But for these 4/5 days it is as though a cloud is over me and I’m not the same person. Please can you advise what would be best to take?
Warmest Regards
Leanne
I’m interested too as I have some similarities, although I don’t throw things and have curbed my yelling but it still comes out from time to time as my father was a yeller, hard to get out what’s engrained.

Dear Dr Saheb, December 20, 2023
Mr daughter is a patient of schizophrenia. She has doubts which rather appear to be complaints about certain persons out of near relative dead or alive for their wrong behaviour mostly towards herself. She talks and mostly talks loudly in high tone of anger. She has mostly auditory and sometime visual (hazy visional) hallucinations. What disturbs most is her uproarious angry talk in high tone. In fits of high anger she turns especially furniture items and beds upside down.
I have given her and am still giving her Ashwagandha Q one or two drops on a tablet and Rauwolfia 1x, 2x 1-2 drops on tablet.
I have also given her Kali phos 6x and sometimes 12 or 30x after intervals of time.
Ferrum phos gives her temporary relief.
Staphysahtia 30 one doze has been given her sometime back.
Stramonium 200 was given her two years back with unpleasant result. No benefit.
She is physically thin, not fatty but is quite active and seldom reports debility. She is very fond of working in the kitchen. She is active house holder rather she is a workaholic and does tire working in the house. She keeps talking in high tone mostly.
She considers herself superior in every respect and days she is an educated lady and is not lesser than anyone
She also thinks and says that she can do everything from cooking to stitching clothes which she actually cannot stitch. Once she cut the open cloth with a Scizor saying that she can stitch her clothes herself. But actually she has no training for it and cannot stitch clothes at all. So the cloth she cut remained untailored. Whatever food she bungles to cooks she says it’s the best and most tasty.
Mostly angry and critical but sometimes very nice and loving.
Very punctilious especially in preparing morning breakfast and says she is to the time and insists that I should be in time to take the breakfast.
She is not lazy rather is active though may be sometimes exhausted and tired.
Dr db. I hope you will suggest me some homoeopathic remedy that may really help her. Thank you in anticipation
Yours truly,
Junaid Iqbal Qureshi
