Q. Can SSRIs help overcome anger management issues?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I can understand your situation. You may have major depressive disorder due to chronic stress. Your depression gives you anger outbursts. There is non-pharmacological management for it, and you should try to follow the below guidelines to deal with it. It will help you.

1. It would help if you exercised 30 to 45 minutes daily, like at least going for a walk.
2. You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily, sit in one place in a comfortable position, and try to concentrate on your normal breathing, do not stop or force yourself to control your thoughts. It will calm you and reduces anger outburst.
3. You should eat healthy home-cooked foods and avoid junk foods.
4. You must drink enough water.
5. You should spend quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from your family.
6. It would help if you spent time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills or language or musical instruments.
7. You should take enough seven to eight hours of sleep daily.
8. It would help if you avoid tobacco or alcohol, or any substance abuse.

I also suggest you start taking Fluoxetine 20 mg daily in the morning after breakfast. It will help you deal with anger outbursts. Consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope that you get your answer.

Thank you.

I understand your concern.

I cannot give a prescription. You have to hire your country's psychiatry board-approved psychiatrist for a prescription. My prescription will not be valid in your country.

I hope this information will help.

Thank you.
