Introduction: What is Anger and Why is it so Bad for Your Health? Anger is a natural human emotion associated with the fight-or-flight response. It is an emotional response to a situation that violates one's expectations or standards. It’s completely normal to feel angry when you’re frustrated, disappointed or hurt. But anger can be a problem if it affects your health and the way you live your life. Anger can be helpful when it helps us take action and solve the problem. But, if we don't do anything about it, anger can lead to health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity. In this section, we will explore the many ways anger can impact your physical and mental health, as well as how to manage anger when it becomes too much of an issue. The first thing that can happen when someone becomes angry is that their blood pressure rises and heart rate increases. This puts them at risk for heart disease and stroke, which can lead to permanent damage or death. By suppressing these emotions, people are more likely to develop depression, anxiety, eating disorders or addiction problems. Anger is also linked to insomnia and pain-related issues like chronic headaches or back pain because it triggers the fight-or-flight response in the body which causes adrenaline rushes throughout the day.
