We all know what ANGER is, whether it's a fleeting annoyance or indeed a full-blown rage. ANGER is a completely normal and sometimes a healthy human emotion. BUT when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems, problems at work or in your personal relationships and even in the overall quality of life. In fact, ANGER can make you feel as though you're at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. Gotta remember, ANGER Is A Letter Away from DANGERπππAs defined in the medical industry, ANGER is an 'emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage'. Just like other emotions, it is accompanied by physiological and biological changes.

And yes, ANGER can be caused by both external and internal events, It could a person you're angry or an event [e.g. traffic or a cancelled flight]πππ
