Western Medical Mental Process and Emotional Imbalances "Anger"

Mental Process and Emotional Imbalances (what to look for)
The gallbladder stores bile from the liver, and emotional anger associated with food (eating disorders) and its breakdown (by bile) becomes stuck if the gallbladder is broken, food becomes constipated with fats because it has not been metabolized by bile from the gallbladder, the same action happens in the mind; in that big angry thoughts do not get broken down and disposed of by the mental cleansing action of sleep if the gallbladders mental influences are damaged.
Bad Attitude
Bilious means ill natured and has been long associated with the gallbladder (a bilious attack consists of a headache, abdominal pains, acidosis and migraines) and liver.

Brief Gallbladder Western Medical Anatomy and Actions
The gallbladder is a small hollow organ that is located below the right lobe of the liver, and stores bile produce by the liver (a concentrated fluid called gall) until it is released by a signal from the small intestine, to help with digestion (digested food containing fats stimulates bile release to help breakdown fats).
It is possible to live without a gallbladder, and surgical removal of the gallbladder is called a cholecystectomy.
Gallbladder disorders
Gallstones, gallstone pancreatitis, sphincter oddi dysfunction, cholecystitis, cancer, cholesterolosis, Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses, postcholecystectomy syndrome, porcelain gallbladder.

Liver generates anger, resentment, irritability and frustrations whilst doing all the planning and making decisions

Gall bladder expresses anger including depression (inward anger type), and executes all the livers plans and decision making

Mental Process and Emotional Imbalances (what to look for)
The liver is the general that commands strategic thoughts.
The emotion anger will cause damaging hyperactivity (violence, hateful enjoyment, hurtful panic, blind rage) to blur the thoughts from connecting with the moment and being able to move on, however anger turned inwards is just as self destructive (self harming, hateful depression, metaphysically draining abusive behaviour's), goals, purpose and choices disappear when a dysfunction liver is present. The liver reflects the sun (left eye) and moon (right eye) through the eye's, which are windows to the livers emotions, when constantly using the left brain then the left eye will weaken overtime, and when mostly using the right brain the right eye will become weak overtime.
Anger is seen in the left eye (aggression), and (inward anger) depression in the right eye.
To help release the brain from anger developing an inner vision (through meditation) with the eye's half closed will help unclench the brain.

Western Medical Mental Process and Emotional Imbalances "Anger"

Main Causes of Anger
The main causes of anger are generally recognized as financial problems, stress, difficult or poor social standing and environment, relationships, excessive pressures on personal time and energy; in essence desire!.
Anger can sometimes run in families from exposure to family members that are always angry, or can develop in a growing personality when most of the time in the presence to the progressive emotion of anger, constant angry (passive anger, aggressive anger, controlled or uncontrolled aversive actions) scenarios can all help encourage a personality growth that is in a perpetual, angry-destructive state of being.
Note: positive, controlled aggression (as in sports or gaming etc) is different to emotive anger issues which damages the self and others (suicide, self harming, neglect).
DNA and Anger
Brain chemical, hormonal disorders and genetic dysfunctions can also have a contributing factor to the development of an angry persona.
Passive Anger
Personalities that display the emotion of passive aggression are not necessarily aware that they are being aggressive (sometimes they think they are being assertive).
Passive aggression is usually delivered by expressing sarcasm, meanness, apathy, alienation and self sabotaging behaviour's without understanding why.
Understanding Passive Aggression
Shows of passive aggression tend to be difficult to recognize because they can be indications of a repression, that is hidden in, trapped in, and attached to the unconscious (triggers) which may emotionally surface themselves via unexplainable self-sabotaging, passive aggressive behaviour's.
Emotional Indicators of Anger-Related Symptoms
Although the expression of anger can be explosive or passive there are a number of emotional states that suggest unresolved anger is emotionally present, such states include; irritableness all the time, rage, anxiety with changeable moods from anger to depression and feeling overwhelmed, self-harming, suicidal thoughts and fantasizing about revengeful actions.
Anger-Depression
Anger and depression are close bed fellows that tend to life-cycle because of personality, including metaphysical thought and brain/body chemical processes of feelings involved with anger, and the natural process of angry guilt and isolation which may lead to depressive states, such states are associated with being proactively aggressive or passively angry (unless no feelings or numbness is present), such as lashing out; or personal and controlled people alienation (singularly or manipulation of other people "groups" to help enable alienation).
Depression experienced over long periods of time can be viewed by possible displays of personal angry outbursts either in private or in public, controlled or spontaneous outbursts of emotions can be directed against others either covertly (to yourself) or openly (to destroy somebody).
Physical Indicators of Anger-Related Symptoms
Heart palpations and tightening of the chest, high blood pressure, fatigue, exhaustion, not being able to complete tasks, tingling sensations throughout the body, sinus cavity and a feelings of pressure on the head.
Acute Unresolved Anger
Acute anger can manifest itself through constant feeling of anxiety, nausea, muscle pain and tension, headaches, depression, rapid breathing, dizziness, poor memory and concentration, such symptoms can make it difficult to complete the simplistic of tasks because metaphysically the mind and body are in fight or flight.
Chronic Anger
Chronic anger which is prolonged anger, can compromise the immune system and be the cause of many levels of mental and physical disorders such as; insomnia, greater risk of strokes and difficulties in finishing anything (even reading a book).
Note: depression and anger can go hand in hand.
