Hi, Chelle,   I suggest that you bring this to the attention of the person's family so they can discuss the person's actions/reactions with her doctor. Perhaps her medications need to be altered and the doctor can prescribe a medication that will stem the anger.   You also may want to deflect the anger by changing the subject, playing soothing music, or turning on the television to something that would keep her interested (such as Andy Griffith). Also, I learned with my mom that if I left the room for a brief period of time when she was having an outburst, it would eventually subside. I also learned to read the indicators that Mom was becoming upset and then started working to defuse her anger a lot earlier. I learned to keep a really calm and sunny disposition and didn't let Mom's emotional outbursts trigger similar reactions in me because that only fed her anger. If you don't feel like you're seeing a difference in her actions/reactions, then you may want to consider moving on.   I hope this helps! Takie care and keep us posted!   Dorian
