Anger can be caused by a variety of different mental health issues. Knowing the right type of medication would be dependent on the underlying reason. Psychologists (with few exceptions) do not prescribe medication, but can help diagnose the reason. A Psychiatrist is the best for determining the appropriate medication to manage the symptoms.
