Hi, Ramon,
Mood stabilizers, such as lithium, Tegretol, Depakote, etc., may help, depending on the cause of your anger. I have pasted this from http://www.mhsource.com/expert/exp1012400d.html:"For example, bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder can provoke severe mood swings, which, in some cases, can turn violent. Certain kinds of epilepsy (seizures) can also provoke violent outbursts. So, it would be important to get a thorough neurological and psychiatric evaluation. Since you don't mention medication trials, it's important to know that mood stabilizing medications can be helpful for violent impulses, depending, of course, on the cause."
Good luck to you!
