Anger Management

In terms of psychology aggression is a behavior in which a person purposely harms itself or another living being or environment either physically, mentally or
verbally through his/ her behavior. Most of the people think that aggression &anger are similar but both are different because a person who is suffering from
anger it doesn’t mean that person will harm somebody either physically or verbally as anger is emotion and aggression is a behavior. And some people also
have tendency to say that aggression and violence are synonymous but they are not as violence is one of the form of aggressive behavior and aggressive behavior does not vital to be physical only although violence meant to be physical destroy something. Currently in our society there is a huge rise in the cases of aggression among our youth and very well common in children as well.

Types of Aggression –  

Basically Aggression is divided into 2 parts

1. Impulsive Aggression mostly depends upon the anger or emotion and it is very unpredictable or instant behavior in a particular situation. It is a quick
reaction in a situation without any thought of consequences. Today mostly youth is suffering a lot with this. 

2. Instrumental Aggression is a behavior in which a person is pre planned to act like aggressive behavior either physically or verbally to achieve some
goals. And there is no role of emotion. We can observe this type of behavior in the sports person.


Causes –

 People also suffer from aggression due to their genetic issues.  Sometime it also happens because of some psychological factors like
bipolar disorder, depression and PTSD.  People may also react in a particular situation with aggression while they feel frustrated or not able to control their emotion in a particular situation as well. Some children also suffering from this behavior as they are grow up in between abusive people where violence and aggression happen on regular basis.  When children are not able to express their emotions in words while feeling lonely, afraid or frustrated then also children response aggressively.
