Report Abuse
Psychiatrist 's  Response
hi, probably you are suffering from 'intermittent explosive disorder'. it is an impulse control disorder in which one loses control of aggressive impulses resulting in physical assault or destruction of property. The aggression is usually after mild stress, and aggressive episode usually followed by regret. It usually starts in early adulthood and decreases with middle age. Although it is very difficult to control this aggression, you should do following- 1. keep in mind that this a disorder and you have to control it, so leave the place or person at that moment, for about half an hour; or indulge yourself in some religious faith if you have,. 2. consult a psychiatrist nearest to you, as it is treated by counselling and medicines. Medicines are usually mood stabilizers like lithium, carbamazine, valproate. . donot use any seative medicine yourself. 4. if you are a substance abuser, like alcoholic, try to get rid of it.
Best wishes for you
