What is
Aggression?

Aggression or aggressive behaviour is a mental health issue that can impact individuals and those around them in different ways. Understanding and addressing it through therapy can lead to improved well-being and quality of life.

What Is It?

Aggression itself isn't a standalone mental health disorder - it is a complex mental health issue that can present in many different ways and is a symptom of different disorders. It may affect emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and physical well-being, often requiring personalised understanding and support.

Common Experiences

People experiencing aggression may notice persistent emotional distress, shifts in mood or behaviour, and challenges with daily functioning. They might struggle to concentrate, feel physically unwell, or withdraw from social situations. The specific experiences can vary from person to person, but they often disrupt overall wellbeing.

How It Can Affect You

Aggression can interfere with your relationships, work, and overall well-being. It may make it harder to enjoy daily life or manage stress effectively. It is more than being in a bad mood - it usually means someone has frequent outbursts, gets angry easily, or acts in a hostile or violent way, often without much control.
