Anger and aggression are often described as symptoms attached to any one of a number of psychiatric disorders. However, for many anger and aggression are used as a survival strategy learned between the ages of 8-16. Often in response to early–life neglect and other forms of trauma, anger and aggression have consistently worked to keep people away and preserve personal control. Although not described by category in DSM-IV, anger and aggression are symptoms of numerous Axis I and Axis II psychiatric disorders.
