If One Of My Family Members Has An Anger Management Problem, What Can I Do To Solve It?
It may not be a problem with their mental space. per se. Are they on daily medication for some other ailment? Something in which the blood level has to be maintained….such as antiepileptic drugs.
If they are not taking them consistently, then the levels could be out of whack when they do a catch up because they missed a few. This causes the liver to go toxic. The body is unconsciously under stress and anger is a stress release. Without really being mad at you, it is more of a knee jerk reaction to a personal ailment.

YOU can’t do anything…the family member who has the problem has to be the one to address his/her problem.
They may not realize they have an anger problem. Maybe you could start by talking to them about someone else that has an anger problem, and mention some of the things they both have in common. Or if you feel comfortable, tell them directly, but mention it right after an angry outburst occurs, this will help reinforce it. Additionally you might leave literature laying around that you can print from the web or a website up, that your family member will see. They may get curious and start to read it on their own and realize they have a problem.
Take them to an anger management therapist. Give them pills that will calm them down.
Sally is right,they have to admit to their own problems. If they do and you can convince them to take anger management classes, please make sure that they complete the class and WANT to change. A friend of mine was court ordered to take the anger management class and and he still blows up a lot. I hope I’m not discouraging you cause I know that these classes CAN work!! Maybe you can bring up times where they have overreacted and help them see that they need help. And in my opinion, you shouldn’t do an “intervention” with a lot of people to someone with an anger management problem due to the fact that they will feel cornered and probably lash out. Well,actually that might be a good thing,cause then you can point out how they are acting right then. It’s your call. It’s a difficult situation and I sincerely wish you the best of luck.
