if this helps......in my case,over 40 years of being angry at the world, even tho' the world did me no harm..... the paradox is that I cant seem to figure out what specifically to be mad at, or why.....I just know I'm mad as hell..... & yes the treatment folks say it goes with the territory, at least with me.......God keep you both.....Peace!

     I can't speak for others; but I would have to agree.

     I used to get angry because of the medication... and my husband! I would have thoughts like: "Why do I have to take this medication if he is being such a butthead?" I loathe taking my medication, but if I don't, I have real problems. When I don't I feel angry and like I want to rage (imagine the old "Incredible Hulk Show" when Bill Bigsby changes into "The Hulk" Lou Ferrigno) I can relate.

     Therapy helps. (we are now in marriage counseling) I am blessed with an excellent therapist!

     I have had about five therapists (at different times within 20 years) and they are the warm fuzzy therapists... they want to know how things are and then the whole session is me complaining; I believe that just inabled me to have a pity party. 

     The marriage counselor has helped me the most. She says it like it is and that works for me; it may not be the best for others. 

I have to agree that the anger can be part of depression. I have a family member that is angry all the time and lashes out at everyone, for everything. (Getting worse as his depresson has gotten worse.) There is new research that points to anger attacks actually moderating the depression for the depressed so it lessens depressive symptoms. I believe that for my family member, the angry outburst has become the 'drug' to lessen the depression, it happens that often and for no reason. It has something to do with homocysteine serum levels in the brain. About a third of depressed people are prone to anger attacks. If the depression is treated, many have a decrease in anger as well. Good luck!
