Anger is an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage. Like other emotions, it is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when you get angry, your heart rate and blood pressure go up, and so does the level of your energy hormones, adrenalin, and noradrenalin. Anger is a common feeling, thought, and behavior. It is not so much the feeling or the thought that is the trouble - it is what we do when we are angry that is the issue.
