Hi,

Depression is a condition manifested by low mood, decreased body energy, sleep and appetite disturbances. It can also lead to irritability which results in anger outbursts. So, your anger issues can actually be a manifestation of depression. Post partum depression is a condition which manifests within few weeks after giving birth to a baby.

Anger management issues can also be present independent of depression. It can be part of your personality as well.

You should consult a psychiatrist so as to undergo complete evaluation. In case of depression, you can benefit with anti-depressant medications like escitalopram. In addition, behavior therapy for anger management will help control the anger outbursts.

I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
