"Anger has been found to contribute to a range of difficulties among individuals with PTSD, including aggressive behavior, interpersonal conflict and most recently suicide risk. For example, recent research with military soldiers found that risk of aggression was elevated among soldiers with PTSD and high levels of anger, but not among those with low anger (Wilk et al., 2015). Furthermore, anger appears to play a mediating role in the relationship between PTSD and various presentations of aggression. For example, trait anger has been shown to contribute to the relationship between PTSD and verbal and physical aggression (Bhardwaj, 2019). Additionally, research has provided evidence that combat exposure is associated with aggression and violent behavior, with various studies finding that violent combat experience predicts risk-taking behaviors, criminal behavior, and physical aggression with a significant other (MacManus et al., 2015). Most recently, research has examined anger as an emotional risk factor for suicide (Hawkins et al., 2014; Wilks et al., 2019)."
