Depression and Anger: What is the Connection?
 As with many mental health problems that are expressed simultaneously, there is a shared link between depression and anger. Often times, people who are suffering from depression will feel angry because they are not sure how to deal with the complex emotions that depression can manifest. This is especially true among young children and adolescents who may be confused about their depression, and who may instead turn to anger.
People suffering from depression and anger may become angry with themselves or others. Common reasons that people may develop these conditions include:
- Lack of moral support
- Loneliness
- Stress
- Relationship problems
- Financial strains
- Drug or alcohol abuse
- Unemployment
- Death of a loved one
If you or someone you know is suffering from depression and anger, there are some anger treatment methods and management techniques that can be used to make these complicated and painful conditions easier to live for you and your loved ones. |
