Angry, Upset, Violent, Uncontrolled Behavior Due To Brothers Death. Treatment?

Hi my name is XXXX and the other year my older brother hung himself and since then i ve had problems controlling my emotions and my anger, Nearly all the time i feel sad and upset. When i get angry i flip out and when i do, inside my head feels like it is burning and my pupils get bigger. Last year i used to punch walls. I hope you can help me!

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I'm sorry to hear about your brother's death and can understand how difficult and stressful this situation must be for you. Your symptoms seem to be indicative of depression (which has been precipitated by the sudden, extreme stress). I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed psychological assessment and further treatment. There are effective treatment options in the form of medication and counselling which will help you handle your emotional problems. So, please don't hesitate to seek professional help.

Wish you all the best.
