How can one deal with anger issues to avoid it from affecting one's personal and professional life?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Thank you for taking help from a psychiatrist. Your anger issue is due to the stress related to your work. You may have a major depressive disorder due to a stressful life. There is non-pharmacological management to deal with depression. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned guidelines as it will help you:

1. You should exercise daily for 30 to 45 minutes like at least going for a walk.

2. You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily. Just sit in one place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on your normal breathing. Do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts. Just let it be.

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 members daily. Limit the use of social media.

6. You should spend time doing creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills or language or musical instruments.

7. You should sleep for seven to eight hours daily.

8. You must avoid tobacco usage, alcohol consumption, or any type of substance abuse.

   Live your life. Do not just spend it. Be bold and confident. You should give time to work but work is not life. You are always replaceable at your work but not at your home. You must take a break from your routine life. Go on a vacation with your family. Make memorable periods in your life to enjoy your retirement. If you still have symptoms that persist after following the above-mentioned advice for four to six weeks, then you need to start taking medications for a short duration.

   I hope this helps. Do get back if you have any further queries.

   Thank you.
