This overview, whose medical information is taken from GQ Italia, can therefore be useful to better understand anger and its origins, to be able to better manage it and avoid it turning into destructive behaviour.

Cholesterol and diabetes
The production of serotonin, the hormone of happiness, is reduced by statins, which block the mechanism by which cholesterol is produced, and is also related to the amount of sugar circulating in the blood. If the wrong amount of sugar circulates in the blood, it is normal to have mood swings that make one feel angry for no reason.

Hyperthyroidism
If the thyroid gland produces too many hormones, as in the case of hyperthyroidism, it has a negative effect on the body's balance: nervousness, restlessness, and in some cases, even anger for no reason.

Insomnia (or not getting enough sleep)
Insomnia causes fatigue and dips that can impair daily activities-this can increase the level of nervous tension and make us angry for no apparent reason.

Alcohol
Alcohol reduces cognitive control and can cause exaggerated behaviour, including anger, which can also degenerate into violent and dangerous behaviour.

Anxiety and depression
Anxiety and depression are illnesses that lead to negative feelings, such as inadequacy, agitation, and in some cases even unmotivated anger. In this case, help should be sought by turning to specialists.
