Persisting anger

There are several reasons for persisting anger:

  • Sometimes this is a person's normal behaviour.
  • There may be a clinical depression.
  • Unrealised ambitions, e.g. seeing children grow up.
  • Loss of control because of weakness or immobility.
  • Spiritual anger.

The last four may need additional or specialist help.
