Rage (often called fury or frenzy ) is an intense, violent, or growing sense of anger. Sometimes this is related to fight-or-flight responses, and is often activated in response to threats. The phrase "thrown into wrath " reveals the direct nature of anger that has arisen from extended exposure to the threat. If left out, anger can lead to violence against threats.

Etimologi
Ancient French raige, anger (French: anger), from the Latin Rabia of the Middle Ages, from the Latin rabies ("anger of anger") is similar to Sanskrit rhinos (violence). The Latin Vulgar word spelling has many of the same languages ââwhen translated into many modern Roman languages, such as Spanish, Galician, Catalan, Portuguese, and modern Italian: rabia , rabia , < i> rÃÆ' bia , raiva , and rabbia respectively.

Symptoms and effects
Anger can sometimes lead to a state of mind in which people who experience it believe they can do, and are often able to do, things that normally seem physically impossible. Those who experience anger usually feel the effects of high levels of adrenaline in the body. This increase in adrenal output increases the physical strength and endurance level of a person and sharpens their senses, while dulling the sensation of pain. High levels of adrenaline actually destroy memory. The temporal perspective is also affected: angry people have described events in slow motion. The widening of time occurs because the individual becomes a conscious hyper of the back brain (seat of fight or flight). Rational thinking and reasoning will prevent an individual from acting quickly on impulse. The long explanation of this "time-widening" effect is that instead of slowing down our perception of time, high levels of adrenaline increase our ability to remember certain events after they occur. Because humans measure time based on the number of things they can remember, the high adrenaline incidence as experienced during the period of anger seems to be revealed more slowly. It is safe to assume that there is truth in both theories.
A person in an angry state can also lose most of his capacity to think rationally and reasonably, and may act, usually roughly, to their impulse to the point where they can strike until they themselves have been paralyzed or the source of their anger has been destroyed. An angry person may also experience tunnel vision, damped hearing, increased heart rate, and hyperventilation. Their vision can also be "rose-colored" (hence "seeing red"). They often focus only on the source of their anger. The large amount of adrenaline and oxygen in the bloodstream can cause a person's limb to vibrate. Psychiatrists think anger is at one end of the spectrum of anger, and resentment is on the other side.
In 1995, anger was hypothesized to occur when oxytocin, vasopressin, and corticotropin release hormone were quickly released from the hypothalamus. This produces the pituitary gland to produce and release large amounts of adrenocorticotropic hormone, which causes the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids. This chain reaction occurs when facing a threatening situation. Nearly two decades later, more is known about the high impact of epinephrine. As the focus in neuroscience begins to shift toward the role of the white matter network, a more complete understanding of these complex emotions can be extrapolated.
Memory, being a "perceptual retention", can be seen as a gigantic mosaic (Robertson, 2002). This mosaic will consist of a fragmented perception (tile) united by astrocytes (glue), creating resistance. Ratio 3: 2 can indicate an increase in demand in neurons held together, or isolated. It also increases the likelihood that more advanced memory improves one's fitness.
In addition, the enhancement of the white matter network helps the individual's ability to adapt to new cultures and environments. The metaphors of kaleidoscopes are often used when expressing the extraordinary abilities that humans have in adapting to different cultures by engaging in different patterns of thinking. Our ability to understand behavior patterns helps in our ability to take advantage of inductive reasoning, a type of reasoning that can help the ability of individuals to think about how their behavior may affect their future. Such lines of thought are reinforced through the use of deductive reasoning. Together, inductive and deductive reasoning has helped in developing adaptive conflict management strategies that assist in the cessation of anger caused by cognitive dissonance.
Astrocytes play an important role in regulating blood flow to and from neurons by creating a blood-brain barrier (BBB). More specifically, these astrocytes are found near the 'toe' of blood vessels. These astrocytes help tightening and expanding blood vessels to regulate the nutrients that make their way into neurons. BBB protects the brain from toxins and helps transport objects such as oxygen and glucose to the brain.
This system plays an important role in memory settings. Studies have shown that glucose, along with epinephrine of the adrenal medulla, has an effect on memory. Although high doses of epinephrine have been shown to destroy memory, moderate epinephrine doses actually improve memory. This led to question the role played by epinephrine in the genome evolution of Homo as well as the important role of epinephrine during anger. The important role astrocytes play in the formation of muscle memory can also explain the beneficial effects of deep meditation and breathing as a method of managing and controlling one's anger.
Health complications
Some studies show that a person is more vulnerable to have feelings of depression and anxiety if he often rampages. Health complications become much worse if someone suppresses feelings of anger. John E. Sarno believes that the suppressed anger in the subconscious causes physical illness. Heart stress and hypertension are other health complications that will occur when anger is experienced on a regular basis. Psychopathology such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder regularly comorbid present with anger.
Treatment
Type of therapy
Evidence has shown that behavioral and cognitive therapy techniques have helped individuals who have difficulty controlling their anger or anger. Role play and personal study are the two main techniques used to help individuals with managing anger. Role playing is used by angering an individual to the point of anger and then showing them how to control it. Multi-modal cognitive therapy is another treatment used to help individuals cope with anger. This therapy teaches individual relaxation techniques, problem-solving skills, and techniques about response disorders. This type of therapy proves to be effective for highly stressed and irritable individuals.
Psychology
According to psychologists, anger is a birth behavior that everyone shows in some form. Anger is often used to show hostile/affective/reactive aggression. Anger tends to be expressed when a person faces threats to pride, position, ability to deceive others, self-deception, or socioeconomic status. This maladaptive conflict management strategy often comes from cognitive dissonance, at its simplest, 'no' where 'yes' exists.
Cases in which anger is exhibited in direct response to individual religious beliefs may be directly related to cognitive dissonance in relation to the individual's ability to manage terror associated with death and death. Many researchers question whether Buddhist concepts, such as reincarnation and nibbÃÆ' na, help to ease the anxiety of death. Coleman and Ka-Ying Hui (2012) state that "according to the Theory of Terror Management, the religious concept of life after death helps people manage their personal death anxiety" (949). This shows that anger, in relation to religious ideas, may stem from the inability to manage the feelings of terror.
Some psychologists, however, like Bushman and Anderson, argue that the usual hostile/predatory dichotomy fails to define anger completely, as it is possible for anger to motivate aggression, provoking vengeful behavior, without incorporating impulsive thinking that is characteristic of anger. They point to individuals or groups such as Seung-Hui Cho in the Virginia Tech massacre or Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold of the Columbine High School massacre, all of whom are clearly experiencing intense anger and resentment, but whose planning (sometimes for several years) before, and the lack of impulsive behavior readily observed.
