Angry Outbursts - Responsibility to Get Help, Enabling & Biochemical Drivers

& What the Presence or Absence of Remorse Suggests Biochemically

Whether it’s an older child with frequent tantrums, or an adult who easily loses their temper, I think of angry outbursts as a symptom with underlying root causes.   While there may be triggers, someone’s inability to regulate their emotions, in my experience, suggests a biochemical and/or inflammatory driver.  In this episode, I’ll discuss:

  • An important difference between angry outbursts and other symptoms.

  • The impact on the neuro-physiology of others.

  • Reasons this behavior may be enabled by others.

  • Associated diagnoses.

  • The four most common underlying physiologic factors that I see in my practice that appear to drive angry outburst.

  • What the presence or absence of remorse after a tantrum can tell us about underlying physiologic drivers.
