Understanding Different Types of Anger

There are four distinct types of anger that individuals may experience: normal, explosive, chronic, and bitter. Normal anger is infrequent, short-lived, and low in intensity, allowing individuals to express their discomfort without harming relationships. Explosive anger, while also infrequent, is characterized by high intensity and can severely impact interpersonal connections, evident in extreme reactions like throwing objects, but then quickly subsiding. Chronic anger is the most concerning, as it involves high frequency, long duration, and elevated intensity, which not only affects relationships but can also lead to health issues such as high blood pressure.
