Girls' tendency to get angry may have multiple negative impacts on their mental and physical health. Long term emotional instability may lead to anxiety disorders, endocrine disorders, cardiovascular disease, weakened immunity, and deteriorating interpersonal relationships.
1. Anxiety disorder
Frequent anger can continuously activate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to oversensitivity of the amygdala in the brain, which may develop into generalized anxiety or panic attacks. Typical manifestations include persistent tension, sleep disorders, and catastrophizing thinking. Some patients may experience physical symptoms such as palpitations and hand tremors. Psychological therapy can use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help adjust irrational beliefs, and if necessary, doctors may prescribe anti anxiety drugs such as paroxetine and escitalopram.
2. Endocrine disorders
Anger stimulates excessive activity of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis, leading to sustained secretion of cortisol. This state may interfere with thyroid function and induce polycystic ovary syndrome, manifested as menstrual disorders, acne outbreaks, or abnormal hair loss. Regulation should be combined with mindfulness based stress reduction training, and in severe cases, six levels of sex hormones should be tested. Doctors may recommend the use of hormone regulating drugs such as levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol.
3. Cardiovascular disease
Sudden rise of blood pressure during acute anger attack may damage vascular endothelium, which is easy to lead to atherosclerosis for a long time. Research has found that the probability of myocardial infarction is significantly increased in irritable individuals, especially when accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness and left shoulder radiating pain, which require caution. Daily monitoring of dynamic blood pressure is necessary, and doctors may prescribe beta blockers such as metoprolol to protect the heart.
4. Decreased immunity
Continuous elevation of stress hormones can inhibit lymphocyte activity and reduce immunoglobulin secretion. Manifested as recurrent colds, persistent oral ulcers, or herpes zoster attacks. It is recommended to improve through soothing exercises such as Ba Duan Jin, and if necessary, use immunomodulators such as Pidotimod.
5. Deterioration of interpersonal relationships
Emotional outbursts can easily lead to traumatic experiences in intimate relationships, and may be labeled as emotional in the workplace. Typical manifestations include social avoidance, decreased trust, and in severe cases, adaptive disorders may occur. Interpersonal relationship therapy combined with emotional diary recording is helpful for improvement.
It is recommended to establish regular exercise habits such as yoga or swimming, and aerobic exercise at least three times a week can help with serotonin secretion. Pay attention to increasing the intake of foods rich in tryptophan, such as millet and bananas, and avoid excessive caffeine intake. Learn techniques such as abdominal breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. When emotions continue to be out of control for more than two weeks or accompanied by physical symptoms, it is important to seek timely evaluation at a psychological or psychosomatic clinic.
