When does anger become unhealthy? Psychiatrist Dr Avina Gupta shares 6 signs you need therapy

Psychiatrist Dr Avina Gupta from Dharmashila Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Delhi, identifies 6 signs that anger has become unhealthy and requires therapy.

Anger turns unhealthy when it controls behavior, affects health, or interferes with daily life, not merely when it is felt.

Dr Gupta warns that quieter forms of anger like constant irritability, snapping, road rage, and holding grudges can be more unhealthy than shouting or aggression.

A key red flag for unhealthy anger is regret after outbursts, indicating it is no longer a normal emotion.

Anger issues should not be dismissed as personality traits; professional help may be needed to prevent health harm.
