Anger issues
My husband has anger issues. It has increased over a period of time may be due to his father passing away. But is almost like 2 years now and he still cries about it. He is not angry all the time but as soon as a situation comes he gets angry soon n it becomes almost impossible for him or anyone else to calm him down. I have seen similar pattern in his mother always. He admits that he got this behaviour from his mother, but can do nothing about it. Is this even curable. If yes what needs to be done?

Yes, of course â itâs completely normal for him to behave this way after experiencing the deep loss of his father. This may be his way of coping with overwhelming grief and emotional pain.
Give him some time and space to process what heâs going through. Try not to react strongly when he gets angry â his anger might be a reflection of his inner turmoil rather than something personal.
If possible, gently encourage him to consider starting therapy. A therapist can help him understand and manage his emotions, especially anger, in a healthier way as he navigates this difficult phase.

Answer (By Dr. Shivam Bhandari Jain, Consultant Psychiatrist):
Yes, this pattern is both understandable and treatable. What you're describing is a mix of unresolved grief, intergenerational emotional patterns, and impulse control issues. While it may seem inherited, these are learned emotional responses—not fixed
Next Steps
Next Step:
He needs a psychiatric assessment to rule out complicated grief, depression, or intermittent explosive disorder.
Psychotherapy—especially CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) or anger management therapy—can help him unlearn the reactive behavior.
Sometimes, short-term medications are used to stabilize mood and reduce emotional reactivity during therapy.
Health Tips
Helpful Tips & Word of Caution:
Avoid arguing during his emotional peak. Stay calm and revisit the conversation later.
Encourage him with empathy, not blame—anger is often unprocessed pain.
If he refuses help, consider couples therapy so he can begin opening up gradually.
Emotional habits can be changed with the right professional guidance.

Yes, this is curable. Your husband’s anger likely comes from unresolved grief and learned patterns from his mother, which have become his automatic way of reacting under stress. Even if it feels out of control, with therapy and conscious effort, he can learn to manage it, respond calmly, and break this cycle.
It will take time, but with professional support, grief processing, and anger management techniques, change is possible. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
