Abstract

Empathy and anger are two basic social emotions that modulate people’s aggression risk. Within the ICD-11 “symptoms or signs involving mood or affect” (for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics of the World Health Organization), anger is categorized subsumed in “symptoms, signs or clinical findings, not elsewhere classified”. Anger is defined there as “an emotional state related to one’s psychological interpretation of having been threatened”. Reactive anger and aggression are common in certain mental, behavioral or neurodevelopmental disorders. The experienced discomfort may range in intensity from mild irritation to aggressiveness, tantrums, ruminations and other responses.
