Aggression - causes, types, treatment

Aggression conceals a complex problem - it manifests itself differently in children, yet in adults. We can come across her at home, at work, and in public places, such as in public transport or in a store. Aggression is behavior that leads to mental or physical harm. This is not always associated with sleeves, which is worth remembering. Damage can also be expressed verbally by using insults or wording that causes distress to the other person.

 

Types of Aggression

 

You can also distinguish several types of aggression - self - aggression directed against each other - we are talking about self-harm or other types of destructive behavior. The aggression of the enemy is aimed at inflicting pain on the other person, while the instrumental one is about achieving your own goals, e.g. removing competition. Aggression is also divided into active (overt) and passive, which is most often manifested in sarcasm, apparent calmness, under which irritation, sadness and anger are hidden.        

 

Causes of Aggression

 

The reason for such behavior may be mental problems - here you can mention various mental illnesses or personality disorders, but it also happens that aggression accompanies a healthy person who is struggling with stress and fatigue.

 

Treatment of aggression - how to deal with anger?

 

The treatment of aggression is long-term, most often it requires psychotherapy , which will teach you how to deal with anger and emotions in a controlled and non-destructive way with other people. In some cases, this behavior is caused by hormonal disorders that can be pharmacologically normalized.
