If anger is ill-affecting our family, friendships, or work relationships, we need to take a step back and assess. Anger can be both a cause and a symptom of emotional instability, mental health challenges, and even a hormone imbalance. No matter the trigger, it is important to determine if the severity or frequency of angry outbursts is truly damaging. Functional and healthy anger occurs when an individual’s personal boundaries are violated, he explains....

With the Betterhelp online therapy app, members can text, live chat, and schedule video calls with trained and certified therapists around the world.
