A person who has random, uncontrollable bursts of anger and irritability can be diagnosed as either having borderline personality disorder (BPD) or emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD). These people live their lives with anxiety and self-destructive behavioral patterns and, therefore, find it hard to manage any uncomfortable situation. Additionally, when someone with BPD is laden with anger, it can lead to rumination. This later causes a vicious emotional cycle, worsening the patient’s anger.
