Anger and Depression: dealing with these two problematic emotions

Posted on September 30, 2009 @ 9:12 pm

Depression and anger are both bad emotions.But they seem to be on opposite sides.  One of the emotions can be very visible. And the other one is unnoticeable.

As a family counselor San Diego I have seen both emotions. Both need to be seen by an expert if the case is already problematic and causes harm to the patient and other people.These are not problems which someone can just ignore.  In the case of anger you can harm other people.  In the case of depression you can harm yourself.

So let’s talk about anger first. Anger is an emotion which can be explosive.  It is a natural emotion that happens to everybody.  But sometimes people have it go too far.It looks uncontrollable at times.And if you don’t control yourself, it can get the best of you.  But it is at those times when you need to get it under control.  Anger can hurt other people physically as well emotionally.  If it gets too much you need to seek some anger management San Diego.

The other one is depression.It is not that noticeable as compared to anger.The main reason is because most people hold in their depression.Of course it can get noticeable. When it does become noticeable, usually it is a sign that someone needs professional help.Why would someone depressed seek professional help?Because a severely depressed person can hurt themselves.It is dangerous because people keep it to themselves.  If a person gets to the point of severe depression they need professional help such as depression counselor.

It is hard when dealing with emotional problems.Most of the people affected by these problems think they can solve it on their own.  Or they feel like they don’t want anybody trying to help them.But at that point they need all the help they can get.It is not a problem which they can accept that easily.  But when you are dealing with emotions that can bring harm to themselvesand others, you need to.
