Justin Bieber's bizarre and unusual behaviour has become the talk of the internet. Admitting that he struggles with anger issues, the 31-year-old singer shared a cryptic note on his social media account that he is "broken".

“People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed it myself, I would have already? I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry,” he wrote on Instagram.

Of late, there have been major concerns raised about Bieber's growing mental health recently, following his disturbing appearances. In one of his Instagram stories, the singer wrote, “Quit asking me if I'm okay. Quit asking me how I'm doing. I don't do that to you. Because I know how life is for all of us.” He also shared screenshots of a chat where he is supposedly confronting a friend, saying he would never accept a man calling his anger “lashing out”.

Anger is an extremely strong emotion that varies in intensity, ranging from mild irritation to intense rage. While it is a natural human emotion triggered by perceived wrongdoings, threats, or frustrating situations, anger can also be a normal and healthy response but becomes problematic when it is excessive, uncontrollable, or expressed in harmful ways.

Experts say anger stimulates your sympathetic nervous system, triggering a fight-or-flight response – speeding up breathing and heart rate. It also speeds up stress hormones and focus.

According to experts, while keeping your temper in check can be challenging, it is needed for sane mental health. Anger is a common and even healthy emotion, but doctors believe it is also important to deal with it in a positive way. Uncontrolled anger can take a toll on both your health and your relationships.

Anger management is how you may be able to handle situations that make you angry. It is a form of cognitive behavioural therapy – also known as talk therapy – that can take place in one-on-one or group counselling. You might even take an anger management class. In anger management therapy, you may work with a mental healthcare provider to recognise when you are angry and develop coping skills and strategies so you can deal with these feelings in a way that’s healthy and sustainable for you.

If you are really angry, it can be very difficult to calm down at the moment. And so, allowing some time between when you first feel angry and when you react may help you feel calmer or more in control. Here are a few things you can try:

Go for a walk, or go to a different room, and immediately try to leave the confronting situation.

Formulate a signal for yourself when you get angry, to know that you need some time to yourself before talking any further. This can help you avoid having to explain yourself in the moment.

Try to list at least five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.

Take a slow and deep breath and do that through your nose. Experts say many people find it helpful to count while doing this.

Try to keep a small object with you to hold and focus on when you feel angry.

Add reminders to your phone about what to do when you feel angry.
