Anger Issues (Intermittent Explosive Disorder / Emotional Dysregulation)

Anger issues in children and teens happen when a child has trouble controlling their emotions and reacts with intense outbursts that seem too strong for the situation. This can affect their relationships, school life, and overall well-being. It is more than just “bad behavior” — it is a real emotional struggle that needs understanding and support.

  • Frequent and intense temper tantrums or rage episodes
  • Difficulty calming down once upset or triggered
  • Physical aggression such as hitting, throwing objects, or destroying things
  • Feeling remorseful or guilty after an outburst
