Over the years I have myself been afflicted with a terrible temper. I don't really lose control that often, maybe only 2 or 3 times a year, but when I do, the anger seems to feed off itself, increasing in intensity and sometime causes me to throw things, slam doors and feel in a terribly destructive mood. It sometimes continues for hours or more rarely days. Sometimes I even feel as if I want to stay angry because it is a kind o high. Afterwards my psychological state stabilizes and I become aware that I don't want it to happen again.
In addition I feel I have a lot of road rage which doesn't help my driving at all.
My son has schizophrenia and is stabilized and under the treatment of a psychiatrist who I trust.
What should I do? See him for therapy? Has anyone had luck with medications for controlling anger?
