Does having a short temper a mental disorder?!
Question:
Does having a short temper a mental disorder?
I'm not the type to go into rages and start hitting people, yelling, or throwing things. But sometimes I do come really close to doing those things. I'm not an angry person overall. Most of the time, I'm calm , laid back, likes to joke a lot. But sometimes, when stuff goes wrong, I get frustrated easy and my first resort is to blame people, and or say hurtful things that I don't mean. I don't know if this is a mental condition or if it's just the way I'm cut out. But I don't want to hurt anybody physically or mentally. Is it necessary to talk to a doctor about this?? Or can this be dealt with alone??
Answers:
I am the same way. Im amazed that you've evaluated your situation and want to further investigate, and corney but true, that is the first step!
Yes it is a disorder (dont get freaked out! any disorder you read about can be treated!) The name of it I cannot give you because you havent said much about symptoms nor have i had the chance to get more info to evaluate the situation. but talk to your doctor and see what she/he says.
Dont let them send you to anger management classes, they're shams...how does one manage their anger? anger is an emotion so how do you manage it? BS
Good Luck
