Rage

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Rage is a strong, uncontrollable, and often destructive emotional response. It is typically associated with feelings of extreme anger or frustration. Rage can manifest in various ways, including aggressive and violent behavior, and can have significant impacts on an individual's mental and physical health.

Causes[edit | edit source]

Rage can be triggered by a variety of factors. These can include stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. It can also be a response to physical pain, trauma, or certain medications. In some cases, rage can be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition, such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

Symptoms[edit | edit source]

Symptoms of rage can vary widely, but often include intense anger, irritability, and a desire to cause harm to oneself or others. Other symptoms can include increased heart rate, sweating, shaking, and difficulty concentrating. In severe cases, individuals may experience a loss of control and engage in violent or destructive behavior.

Treatment[edit | edit source]

Treatment for rage often involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. Psychotherapy can help individuals understand and manage their anger, while medication can help to reduce symptoms. Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet, can also help to reduce stress and improve overall mental health.
