Expert Care for Emotional Regulation and Impulse Control
Difficulty managing anger and impulsive behaviours can severely disrupt personal relationships, professional life, and emotional well-being.
Dr. Sathiya Ganesan offers comprehensive assessment, expert intervention, and compassionate support to help individuals regain control, build emotional resilience, and lead healthier, more balanced lives.
Understanding Anger & Impulse Control Disorders
Helping Individuals Regain Control Over Emotions and Reactions

Anger and impulse control disorders are characterised by episodes of intense anger, aggression, or impulsive behavior that are disproportionate to the situation. These emotional outbursts can be sudden and overwhelming, often leaving individuals feeling guilty, confused, or isolated afterward.
Common signs include:
- Frequent angry outbursts or irritability
- Difficulty controlling temper
- Aggressive behavior (verbal or physical)
- Emotional overreactions to minor frustrations
Recognizing these symptoms early and seeking structured psychiatric care can significantly improve emotional regulation and quality of life.
Detailed Psychiatric Assessment & Diagnosis
Dr. Ganesan begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand the underlying causes of anger and impulsivity.
She carefully assesses clinical history, behavior patterns, stressors, and co-existing mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or trauma.
A personalized diagnosis ensures that each patient’s unique challenges are addressed with precision and empathy.
Personalized Treatment Planning and Anger Management Strategies
Following diagnosis, Dr. Ganesan creates an individualized treatment plan focused on:
- Identifying personal anger triggers
- Building emotional awareness and self-monitoring
- Developing practical anger management techniques
- Learning impulse control and delayed response strategies
Structured, goal-oriented interventions help patients gain insight into their emotional reactions and create healthier coping mechanisms.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Evidence-based therapies form the backbone of emotional regulation care:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps patients recognize and change irrational thought patterns that fuel anger and impulsivity.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness to help individuals respond thoughtfully rather than reactively.
These therapies are tailored to each patient’s emotional needs and life context, offering practical skills for lasting change.
Medication Management for Co-occurring Symptoms
When severe mood instability, underlying depression, or anxiety disorders are present, Dr. Ganesan may recommend medications to support emotional stability. Medications are prescribed judiciously, focusing on supporting therapy outcomes and promoting sustainable emotional regulation.
Family Counseling and Relationship Skills Training
Anger and impulse control disorders often strain family dynamics and close relationships.
Dr. Ganesan involves family members (with patient’s consent) in psychoeducation sessions to:
- Improve communication patterns
- Set healthy boundaries
- Reduce emotional triggers in the home environment
Strengthening family relationships plays a vital role in long-term emotional wellness.
Lifestyle Coaching and Stress Management Techniques
Beyond therapy and medication, Dr. Ganesan emphasizes the importance of daily habits in emotional control:
- Relaxation techniques (breathing exercises, meditation)
- Structured sleep routines
- Physical activity to release built-up tension
- Balanced nutrition to support brain health
These lifestyle modifications are simple yet powerful tools that enhance emotional resilience.

Anger is an emotional response to perceived threats or frustrations, while impulse control issues involve difficulty resisting sudden urges or behaviors. Both can lead to challenges in personal and professional settings if not managed effectively.
How can therapy assist with anger and impulse control?
Therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are effective in identifying triggers, developing coping strategies, and improving emotional regulation, leading to better control over reactions.
Are these issues linked to other mental health conditions?
Yes, difficulties with anger and impulse control can be associated with conditions such as Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anxiety disorders, and depression. A comprehensive assessment can help determine any underlying conditions.
What are common signs that I might need help managing anger or impulses?
Indicators include frequent outbursts, difficulty calming down, acting without thinking, and experiencing regret after actions. If these patterns disrupt daily life or relationships, seeking professional support can be beneficial.
Is it possible to fully overcome anger and impulse control challenges?
While these issues may not disappear entirely, with consistent effort and appropriate strategies, individuals can significantly reduce their impact, leading to improved relationships and quality of life.
