Types of Anger Disorders – Pt. 2

In our last post, we discussed three different types of anger that can manifest in an individual with anger management issues – including its sneakier form, passive anger. While many experts have published contradicting lists, we have compiled some of the most widely accepted anger types. Here are three more types of anger that you can manifest:

Self-Inflicted Anger – Feelings of guilt can lead an individual to self-inflicted anger. An individual who manifests this form of anger experiences self-loathing and may engage in self-destructive behaviors as a way to punish themselves.

Judgmental Anger – This type of anger is directed towards others. This individual experiences feelings of resentment or contempt towards others around them.

Volatile Anger – This type of anger is excessive or violent anger than comes on spontaneously. An individual with a volatile anger disorder may explode over seemingly trivial things. When we think of anger management problems, this is the type of anger we picture in our heads.

This two-part blog series can help you determine the way or ways in which your anger manifests. If you know which type or types of anger you experience, you can make the most of your online anger management courses and subsequent treatment.
