Anger is often treated as a behavior problem, but for some people, it is a symptom of a deeper psychological or emotional disorder. In this teaching, Dr. Doug Weiss explains how certain mood and personality disorders can severely disrupt emotional regulation and make anger feel unpredictable, extreme, or disconnected from reality.

He walks through the differences between biologically driven mood disorders and soul-based personality patterns, showing why some people struggle far more than others to calm down, self-regulate, or respond proportionately. This message also warns against self-diagnosis and explains why proper psychological testing matters, especially when trauma can mimic or exaggerate symptoms. If your anger escalates quickly, confuses the people around you, or feels impossible to control, this teaching helps clarify what may actually be driving it and why addressing the full picture is necessary for real healing.
