The Connection Between Anger and ADHD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The medical community previously classified anger as a symptom of ADHD. That isn\u2019t the case anymore, but many researchers recognize anger as a common trait in ADHD sufferers. This condition, where sufferers have a difficult time managing strong emotions, affects children, teens, and adults with ADHD, and is called emotional dysregulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotional Dysregulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Emotional dysregulation is a condition that affects 70% of adults with ADHD, its impetus a result of faulty neurodevelopment. Emotional dysregulation can be characterized by some or all of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Irritability<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Grumpiness<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Impatience while under stress<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sudden, sometimes explosive surges of anger<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Intense emotions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Difficulty expressing causes of anger<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Misinterpretation of social cues and feelings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Finding it easier to express feelings of sadness and anger than other feelings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Those experiencing emotional dysregulation may feel even more irritable and angry if they\u2019re also struggling with conditions like anxiety or depression. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
