Anger-In Theory

The anger-in theory proposes that physical illnesses that are cause or affected by stress are caused by a person not expressing emotions such as anger or resentment. Psychophysiological illnesses include hypertension, headaches, heart disease, and stomach problems such as ulcers. The anger-in theory proposes that psychophysiological sickness is due to the 'bottling up' and non-release of anger related emotions.
