“I am feeling very anxious and angry most of the time. What should I do?”
I am all of a sudden noticing a lot of changes in my own behavior. I tend to lose my temper very fast and also feel very anxious. What should I do to treat this?

This might be some signs of depression. It really depends on how old you are. You might want to see a therapist and have them treat you according to your symptoms may be about 5 to 10 sessions will do at least you’ll develop a better understanding of how you’re feeling, what you’re feeling, and why you’re feeling that way. And then develop some coping strategies. However you first have to know what is making you depressed.
You may want to consider getting some counseling.
Because you say that these feelings and behaviors are "all of a sudden," you seem not to be able to correlate them with anything in your life. Perhaps there are correlations you haven’t made, or perhaps there is a physical issue that is the cause. Since I know nothing about you – age? gender? history? – I can’t offer any diagnostic conclusions, and therefore, no simple treatments. Why not pay a visit to your family doctor, someone preferably who knows you, and can make educated "guesses," perhaps suggest relevant tests, and perhaps refer you to the appropriate specialist. Good that you are concerned; good luck with the solution!

Dear Madam/Sir:
This change in behavior must be difficult for you as it does not reflect your self-concept. I would suggest seeing a hypnotherapist or a regression therapist to get to the roots and origins of your anger and anxieties and learn to release them. Also, you would benefit from learning self hypnosis and meditation to relax your self so instead of reacting you would respond calmly.
Take care,

I suggest as a first step contacting a psychologist to speak about these recent changes in mood and behavior and/or a psychiatrist for a medication evaluation. Have you experienced any recent stressors? Have you also felt depressed mood? Lastly, I always recommend checking your thyroid to assure no underlying medical condition. Good luck
See a therapist who can help you with anger management and deal with your anxiety issues.

I’d need to know more about your life circumstances because there are many reasons for these changes. You may benefit from speaking with a psychologist to root out what is going on.
Typically, anger and irritation are secondary emotions and what lies beneath are more painful emotions like sadness and fear. I would encourage you to seek an evaluation by a mental health provider.
The first thing you should do is consult your physician. This behavior could be something physical. Make sure you explain exactly what you are feeling to your medical provider.
You should go see a therapist ASAP before it gets worse.
Need to take some time to reflect and identify issues or factors contributing to your anxiety and anger. What factors are out of your control to change? Is it time for an attitudinal adjustment or is it being caused by not taking time to care for oneself such as insufficient restorative sleep, good nutrition, etc. need balance in life.
