Although getting angry seems natural and it is difficult at times to control one's emotions, recent research suggests that negative responses to minor daily stressors can have a major impact on future mental health. People often get angry at home and work, when waiting in lines, or sitting in traffic, but such reactions can be dangerous in the long run.
Researchers recently analyzed data from two national, longitudinal surveys. They found that negative reactions to minor daily stressors predicted psychological distress and self-reported anxiety and mood disorders 10 years later. It is important to understand that such negative responses can be an overreaction that can affect and individual's health. It is, therefore, important to consider such behavior seriously.
