The Advance Effects of Anger

Abstract What is it you experience when you feel anger? Maybe you think of times when you were upset, annoyed, furious, enraged, or irritated. But anger is more complex than these words imply. Anger is an emotion, but it also affects your physical state, your thoughts, and your behavior, though you may not always be consciously aware of it. Understanding the experience of anger will provide you insight into the role anger may play in your life and that of your child. Certain of these reactions typically accompany acute (intense, short lived) anger. Other reactions, such as sleep difficulties, digestive problems, cynicism, and loss of faith may occur with the development of chronic (long-lived) anger. Here are some of the adverse ways anger can impact us.
