Are angry people maniacs

Answer 1

Anger, like all emotions, exist on a continuum... low to high... least to most... insignificant to extreme. Annoyance is a form of low level anger. Irritation is often unexpressed anger, either about someone or about yourself. Anger is typically short-lived-- a person might yell, say things they don't really mean, and then calms down (under 15-20 minutes total). Chronic anger may lead to anger rants that go on longer than 20 minutes, or continually repeat about the same subjects. Parents and teenagers often get into chronic anger toward each other. When chronic anger is unresolved, a person may feel rage. Rage escalates angry feelings and there is typically no resolution when one or more people rage at each other. Simple rage may erupt, and go away, only to repeat again. Chronic rage though becomes persistent and escalates to repeated physical violence, like throwing things, making physical threats, hurting animals or people. Rage is power--it is designed to make someone afraid. While someone in a rage state may appear to be a "maniac", usually, the person has never dealt with angry feelings. But rarely are they maniac in the true sense. However, a raging person can lose control and hurt someone.

Anger Management can help people deal with inappropriate displays of anger and prevent anger from becoming rage.
