Abstract
Anger is the most powerful form of emotional expression across all living beings. The primary emotion intends to convey inconvenience or nonacceptance of a certain behaviour or occurrence; it may also represent buried guilt, inefficiency, and a disguised form of expression that is always considered offensive. Smoothing herbs, including Bupleuri Radix and Cyperi Rhizoma, were frequently used in animal models and proved to depict anti-anger properties or effects. Drugs like Risperidone, aripiprazole, and lurasidone have considerable effects in reducing anxiety and anger in a heterogeneous group of neuropsychiatric disorders. Cognitive behaviour therapy, psychotherapy, and dialectical behavioural therapy, nevertheless, have shown promising effects. Further, recent research has provided promising results using electrical vestibular nerve stimulation in the management of negative emotions like stress and anxiety. Vestibular stimulation was known to provide calming effects and improve sleep. The primary aim of anger management would be controlled expression, a targeted approach to enhance parasympathetic dominance in a wholesome manner for the well-being of the individual, society, and mankind
