Anger Management Treatment in Borivali
Anger is a normal emotion, but frequent, intense, or difficult-to-control anger can affect relationships, work, studies, and overall wellbeing. When anger becomes difficult to manage or leads to aggressive behaviour, emotional distress, or problems in daily life, professional support can be helpful.
At Kosha Mind Care Clinic, Borivali West, Dr. Shraddha Soni (MBBS, M.D. Psychiatry, FIPS) provides psychiatric assessment and support for individuals experiencing anger-related and emotional difficulties.
What Is Anger Management?
Anger management involves understanding the causes and triggers of anger and learning healthier ways to respond to difficult situations.
Anger can sometimes be linked with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, substance use, or other mental-health concerns. A professional assessment can help identify the factors contributing to frequent anger.
Common Signs of Anger Management Problems
1. Frequent Anger
Getting angry very often, even over situations that may not usually cause a strong reaction.
2. Irritability
Feeling easily annoyed, frustrated, or impatient throughout the day.
3. Verbal Outbursts
Shouting, arguing, using hurtful words, or losing control during conversations.

What Can Cause Frequent Anger?
Anger can have different triggers and underlying factors.
1. Stress
Work pressure, financial concerns, family responsibilities, or other ongoing stress can increase irritability.

Persistent worry or tension may make a person more easily frustrated or reactive.

Poor or insufficient sleep can affect emotional regulation and make it harder to manage frustration.
