Bhagavad Gita 16.11-12

"They (those under sway of demoniac natures)believe that to gratify the senses is the prime necessity of human civilization. Thus until the end of life their anxiety is immeasurable. Bound by a network of hundreds of thousands of desires and absorbed in lust and anger (which arises when desires are frustrated), they secure money by illegal means for sense gratification."
Purport AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja


The Mental Health Foundation of Great Britain says anger is often dealt with only after someone has committed an aggressive crime.
Almost a third of 2,000 people polled said they had a friend or family member who struggled to contain their anger.

Chronic and intense anger has been linked to heart disease, cancer, stroke, colds and flu as well as depression, self-harm and substance misuse, the charity's Boiling Point report said. And anger is more likely to have a negative effect on relationships than any other emotion. The foundation said courts may refer someone for anger management training but services need to intervene sooner.
GPs say they have few options for helping patients who come to with anger problems.

A YouGov survey of 2,000 people found 12% of people say they have trouble controlling their anger.
One in four says they worry about how angry they sometimes feel and 64% think people in general are getting angrier.
