Anger is a normal emotion that ranges from minor irritation to intense rage. It has physical effects like increased heart rate and blood pressure. Anger can be helpful in protecting rights and freedoms or opposing threats, but it can also have disadvantages like stress, dangerous consequences, guilt, and causing fear rather than respect. Anger management involves identifying feelings, aggressive acts, consequences, self-destructive behaviors, internal cues, and thoughts prior to anger in order to develop coping mechanisms and express anger appropriately without losing control.
