A problem such as disordered anger can leave a person feeling stigmatised. Anyone going through this should understand that they are not alone, or a monster.

Many have a stereotypical idea of depression, imaging an individual who never leaves the bed or home and spends all day crying. Those experiencing depression are often plagued by their inner critics. These voices make them feel unworthy. Acting out in anger can help people relieve the anxiety these voices cause. Working with a therapist can help patients experiencing this build stronger self esteem.
There are several types of therapy that can help those with an anger disorder. While some patients may benefit from one, others may benefit from participating in several different therapies.
Patients who are unable to come into LifeStance’s offices for therapy or psychiatric treatment can consider getting help via telehealth. This HIPAA-compliant process gives patients a private, secure way to engage in therapy from the comfort of their own homes. LifeStance provides the software needed, and the patient accesses each session via a personal computer from a private setting in their home.
In group therapy, individuals share their experiences with disordered anger. A therapist leads the session, guiding the conversation and providing coping strategies for the group to consider.
Residential treatment is necessary sometimes when people with an anger disorder have dangerous symptoms such as suicidal ideation. A patient receiving inpatient treatment stays in a facility and is monitored closely by a medical team.
