Editing Anger management (section)

=== Medication ===
As anger is a psychological concern, treating with medication is a secondary line of approach. However, if there is a medical reason for an anger response certain psychotropic medications are prescribed by doctors to complement the psychotherapy intervention. Medications include antidepressants, anti-psychotics, anti-seizure medications, and beta blockers. These drugs specifically do not target anger directly, but they have a calming outcome that can support control of rage and negative feeling.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Charles H.|last1=Elliott|first2=Laura L.|last2=Smith|first3=W.

Antidepressants may have a particular role when anger is a manifestation of depression. Anger attacks are found in 40% of those with [[major depressive disorder]] with 64–71% of cases responding to an [[SSRI]] such as [[fluoxetine]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Fava|display-authors=et al |first1=M |title=Fluoxetine treatment of anger attacks: a replication study |journal=Annals of Clinical Psychiatry |date=1996 |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=7–10|doi=10.3109/10401239609149084 |pmid=8743642 }}</ref>
