Is Anger Now a Medical Issue?
A November 2007 article states that road rage could be caused by Intermittent Explosive Disorder, making severe anger a medical condition. In this article, I openly and candidly respond to this notion of categorizing a human emotion (and the choices people make because of it) a medical anomaly - one that could be treated with medication, rather than careful examination of one's feelings and choices.
Midlife Is the Antidote
