uncontrolled or overly-used anger, but the person experiencing the excess of anger will most likely think they are just mad normally or that there isn’t a problem with random anger. There isn’t. People are supposed to get angry and they are supposed to express it. They would need more help if they were never angry. It’s misplaced rage that constitutes a problem.
A good test is to have the person in question think of the most annoying thing in or about their lives and watch as they become angry about nearly everything else. Another way of telling is if the little annoyances/problems cause bigger ones. Self-inflicted problems are a sign that can mean anger problems, but only if they are caused by anger.
Anger distorts certain functions of the brain and body. Checking to see if the person had an incredibly minor short-term memory problem, (like setting down keys to grab a jacket in another room and forgetting where the keys are) but is only an indicator if followed by a short frustration, babbling, or anger.
Like most “psychological” problems created by small overdoses of today’s society, anger can be treated in one or both of two simple ways…
1) proven method to reducing the body’s stress: meditiation, but more simply, a time during the day to relax. minimum should be 20 minutes. Note that if meditation seems annoying at first and into the end of the first or second week, then you may need to express your feeling rather then just relaxing them away.
2) expression of the anger directly via playing sports or fighting video games. Having an outlet in a ‘physical’ sense helps to relieve anger. Most anger or frustration comes from bottled up or improperly channeled stress and letting it out in a safe, but violent, way is completely normal and natural. Exersizing is an incredibly healthy way of releasing stress that comes with pleasant side-effects like being healther and the releasing of endorphins also helps the stress.
But if neither of these ways get completely through, another proven method to get rid of stress and anger is getting it checked to see if it is a issue of mental health or to see if you are just angry, at that point anger management (and possibly talking/counseling) is best.

Your difficulty coping with and/or expressing your anger in an appropriate manner interferes with your normal functioning. This might be your relationships, your job, the law, etc. If it starts to cause problems in your life then you should seek help.
