Anxiety and Anger…Is There a Link?
Is there a link between anxiety and anger? A new study shows that that is the case.
A recent study done at Concordia University in Quebec showed that irritability was a feature of generalized anxiety disorder. This was the conclusion of a study of more than 380 patients. The focus of the study was assessing the relationship of anger to generalized anxiety disorder. At the Rochester Center for Behavioral Medicine, we also have found this relationship to be evident. We find that many individuals with ADHD and who, as an adult, have developed generalized anxiety disorder. A link to anger has also been seen through our experiences here at RCBM.
