Anger and the many issues it causes:
Having worked in the medical field for over 25 years I have seen my share of angry people.
Just living life on a daily basis you can see your share of angry people.
What with "Road Rage," "Senseless Killings," and "Crime," just to name a few there are a great number of angry people in the world.
From what I have seen after spending a number of years in the hospital security department and the last 15 as a radiologic Technologist and coming in contact with people from all walks of life I have surmised that the majority of people haven't addressed their anger issues nor do they know where they stem from.
This is in no way a clinical paper on anger and if some issues do arise in you from the information you find here please seek out medical attention to have those issues resolved in your best interest.
There will be articles form doctors and others in the medical field, however, they are just stating circumstances that may give you an avenue to take so that if something does apply to you will find the right road to address your circumstances.
Some of the issues that arise stem from sometimes just not having enough money to do al the things one might want to do. Unhappy with their job. family life not going as planned. The lost of a love one.
There is no way to address all the issues that there are in life, here at No More anger For You, the management just hopes to help.
By supplying a litany of articles from many sources maybe something will stick out for you. The articles will always be added fresh so it is suggested that you bookmark this site and come back often. There will even be a Dear Lynn piece for those that have issues that may not require medical attention, but needs an ear to listen.
I do know that anger leads to internal problems both physically (stress) and emotionally. It can lead to a series of bad decisions in your life as well as poor performance in all areas. The body is a system and if anything is out of place the whole system is in disarray. Without being a doctor I know that ANGER has to be the leading cause of "Road Rage." Imagine you are driving and someone gets in front of you and your whole persona changes. The brain does not kick in and say the world is big enough for both of us to here. or change lanes where once again a clear path is presented. No, it causes something to click and instead of changing lanes a person pulls their car right to the back of the other car now you have 6,000 pounds of steel metal and other material and if on the highway going at a speed of at least 55 miles per hour or pull along side and create a situation or even worse just to show them cut back in front of them. Well, I can tell you from experience of being a Radiologic Technologist (X-ray) for over 15 years that the speed and the amount of metal interacting with each other does not bring about good results. As a matter of fact the most serious injuries from motor vehicle accidents come from the speed at which one is going. The faster you go the worst chance you have of a good outcome.
And all that was caused by anger, there are a litany of other issues that will be addressed because of anger, crime, child abuse, spousal abuse, fighting, bullying, job lose and the ultimate loss of life because of a bad decision or wrong decision because a clear head did not prevail.
Oh did I mention that you can contribute anything on this subject that you feel will be relevant. Just go to the homepage. Post your statements, paragraphs, or articles. Someone else may just need to hear that. Or they may have a solution for you, if you are looking for one.

People ask why this topic:
The reason being is that this is usaully a topic not dealt with until it is too late.
Someone is seriously hurt, someone is in jail, and families are broken up.
How does this little 5 letter word cause such damage?
Well, I believe the main reason is that ANGER is left unattended. Sometimes ANGER is so mild that it isn't recognized as a problem.
Here is where you have your classic situation of MISDIRECTED ANGER (Anger left unattended or not dealt with the person or situation that caused it.
Based on my observations the most ANGER is caused in the work place.
An employee is upset about a situation with their boss.
For fear of reprisal they do not deal with the situation.
This starts the ball rolling into a build up.
They get in their car and someone cuts them off.
Not intentional, however, this builds'up more and starts festering, (By the way this causes your basic ROAD RAGE) now they go into the store the clerk isn't as pleasant as the person thinks they should be.
And boom they start yelling about the person being rude and uncourteous.
Maybe they were a little, however, not to the extent that warranted this outburst.
This now goes back to the first situation with the boss that was not dealt with.
Even worst thay do not deal with the situation with the clerk.
Now they have a build up of several incidences not properly dealt with or channeled.
Now for the worse scenario. they arrive home and the family is glad to see them.
However, someone does something not really bad , but could be a little annoying and they explode.
Now as far as they can see there isn't any real danger of letting their ANGER out.
Say it is a man and he gets into an agument with his wife.
They get a little too close(now remember they didn't deal with the boss-maybe scare of losing their job-didn't deal with the car that cut them off because they couldn't-didn't deal with the clerk because it didn't seem that important.)
However, built up anger now explodes again and they aren't scare of any consequences, shoving starts, wife falls down and hits her head. Hits that soft spot that everyone has and dies. Wife/Mother dead, Husband/Father in jail. Children witness the whole thing and have to live the rest of their lives seeing their father kill their mother.
A little extreme but possible. This is a classic case of Mis-Directed ANGER-check your prisons. There is a population of people who didn't mean to do it. This could have been the scenario.
Even worst is the person who try to drink their problem away and drive after drinking and hit someone. Maybe they black-out(Can't remember what happened) spend years in jail and will never even remember the incident.
What do you think about that 5 letter word now? A N G E R
