It can be someone cutting you off in traffic or a loved one not listening to you. Coming back home after a long day at work and finding noisy guests can also tick you off. There can be multiple reasons for losing your cool. Anger happens to be a common, and sometimes, healthy emotion. But if you often react to any situation with anger, you are clearly short-tempered. Taming your anger is important if mental health is your priority. Read on to find out the causes of short temper and why it is important to control anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To comprehend a short-tempered person, it\u2019s necessary to understand the concept of personality. Personality is an inherent and lasting trait that influences a person\u2019s behaviour, attitudes and thoughts. Someone who possesses an unpredictable disposition or exhibits immediate bursts of anger can be referred to as having a short-tempered personality, explains\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/experts\/dr-ayushi-shukla\/\">Dr Ayushi Shukla<\/a>, Consultant \u2013 Psychiatry, MBBS, MD (Psychiatry), SRV Hospitals, Dombivli, Maharashtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-155.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load wp-image-5503\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"354\" src=\"https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-155.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-155.png 627w, https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-155-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-155-293x165.png 293w, https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-155-390x220.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common causes of short temper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many might question why some people are short-tempered. Although there isn\u2019t a single definitive theory to fully explain the origin of short-tempered behaviour, there are a few possible contributing factors \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Genetic influence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genetics plays a major role in a person\u2019s personality traits, including a predisposition to being short-tempered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Neurophysiological factors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Various functional imaging techniques have revealed structural and functional brain abnormalities in people with a short-tempered personality, the expert tells Health Short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Childhood development<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Challenging temperaments in infancy can evolve into short-tempered traits. Harsh and inconsistent parenting, family conflicts and childhood trauma might serve as risk factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Underlying mental health conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short-tempered behaviour is not all about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/mind\/mental-health\/how-to-control-mood-swings-6-science-backed-hacks-that-can-help\/\">mood swings<\/a>. It might manifest as an external symptom of an underlying mental disorder. Conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Depression, Psychosis, and Bipolar Disorder can lead to sudden anger outbursts, says the expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Underlying physical health issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A short temper might only be the visible part of a larger underlying health issue. Conditions like diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, traumatic brain injury and tumors could contribute to such behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-156.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load wp-image-5504\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"354\" src=\"https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-156.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-156.png 627w, https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-156-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-156-293x165.png 293w, https:\/\/healthnews.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-156-390x220.png 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Short temper and health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a short temper negatively affects a person\u2019s overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Physical health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sudden bouts of anger can lead to heightened blood pressure and may even trigger panic attacks. Also, existing physical conditions, especially cardiac ailments, could worsen due to such episodes, says Dr Shukla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Mental health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short-tempered behaviour can contribute to the development of various mental disorders like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/mind\/mental-health\/3-tips-on-how-to-ask-for-help-when-dealing-with-depression-or-anxiety\/\">depression<\/a>, anxiety and insomnia. People might also make irrational decisions, potentially leading to substance abuse or reckless driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Social health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A short temper has repercussions on a person\u2019s social relationships across different spheres, including work, home, school and college. You can lose friends or people will simply start ignoring you if you don\u2019t keep your anger in check. After all, no one wants to be around a grumpy person all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to control bad temper<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your anger is adversely affecting your physical, mental or social well-being, taking help from a doctor is crucial. You can also do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Combine\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/mind\/happiness-hacks\/heres-everything-you-should-know-about-mindfulness-and-how-to-practice-it\/\">mindfulness<\/a>, breathing exercises and meditation with professional support to effectively manage anger outbursts.<br>\u2022 Recognise triggers and preemptively plan for such situations.<br>\u2022 Maintain a mood journal to monitor daily emotions, including anger.<br>\u2022 Involvement in extracurricular activities and physical exercises can provide short-tempered people with a constructive outlet for their anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/mind\/emotional-health\/tips-to-handle-short-temper\/\">Source<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some people who quickly react with anger to any situation, especially when things don&#8217;t go their way.
