Uncontrolled anger attacks, excessive anger and sudden fury can be signs of Hulk Syndrome, a psychological disorder in which there is an uncontrolled anger, which can be accompanied by verbal and physical aggressions that can harm the person or others close to him.
This disorder, also known as Intermittent Explosive Disorder, usually affects individuals with constant problems at work or in personal life, and its treatment can be done with the use of medications to control mood and with a psychologist.
It is believed that people infected with toxoplasma gondi in the brain are more likely to develop this syndrome. Toxoplasma is present in the cat's feces, and causes a disease called toxoplasmosis, but it can also be present in soil and contaminated food.

How to know if my anger is normal
It is common to feel anger in a stressful situation such as car crashes or tantrums by children, and this feeling is normal as long as you have awareness and control over it, with no sudden changes to a state of fury and aggressive behavior, in which you can put in risk the well-being and safety of others.
However, when aggression is disproportionate to the situation that triggered the anger, it can be a sign of Hulk Syndrome, which is characterized by:
- Lack of control over the aggressive impulse; Breaking one's own or others' belongings; Sweating, tingling and muscle tremors; Increased heart rate; Verbal threats or physical aggression towards another person without a reason to justify this attitude; Feeling of guilt and shame after the attacks.
The diagnosis of this syndrome is made by a psychiatrist based on personal history and reports from friends and family, as this disorder is only confirmed when aggressive behavior is repeated for several months, which suggests that this is a chronic disease.
In addition, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of other behavioral changes, such as Antisocial Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder.
What can happen if you don't control yourself
The consequences of Hulk's Syndrome are due to unthinkable actions taken during tantrums, such as job loss, suspension or expulsion from school, divorce, difficulty in relating to other people, car accidents and hospitalizations for injuries suffered during aggression.
The aggressive condition occurs even when there is no use of alcohol, but it is usually more severe when alcohol consumption is consumed, even in small quantities.
How to decrease tantrums
Common tantrums can be controlled with an understanding of the situation and conversations with relatives and friends. Usually the anger passes quickly and the person seeks a rational solution to the problem. However, when tantrums are frequent and start to lose control, it is recommended that a psychologist accompany and help close family members to learn to face and control tantrums and aggression.
However, in addition to psychotherapy, in Hulk Syndrome it may also be necessary to use antidepressant drugs or mood stabilizers, such as lithium and carbamazepine, which will help control emotions, reducing aggression.
To help control anger and prevent fury attacks, see examples of natural tranquilizers.
