U don't need to be diagnosed to get medication. Ur rage affects ur life. There may be an underlying reason to ur anger and for that u need to talk with someone and be honest about it. I was enlightened when my T and Pdoc told me that my anxieties make me extremely irritable. Some ppl when anxious get extremely emotional while others like me get thrown into a rage. The meds calm me quite a bit. I am naturally an extremely hyper person even without coffee.

The meds I think have allowed me to be a bit more open to T. She admits it though after 3yrs I've remained pretty private about anything that isn't superficial. Honestly I just never learned how to express myself in anyway other than anger. On occasion it's sad to admit I throw a tantrum like a toddler. It happens but I'm sure there's probably a reason for it and I have to learn a way to get past it.

Don't get me wrong it's not a cure all. I work very hard in controlling my temper still. I still get extremely angry and fume for days but it's becoming less frequent. It's just a fact of life that we get angry, but as adults we have to learn to cope.
