Abstract
The prevalence, symptomatology and correlates of anger attacks were studied in 103 depressed French patients, using a French version of the Anger Attacks Questionnaire. The prevalence of anger attacks during the previous month was 46.7%, and the most frequently reported symptoms were feeling of panic (85.1%), tachycardia (83.7%), and feeling out of control (81.3%). The occurrence of anger attacks was significantly associated with intensity of loss of control, and history of panic attacks. There was no significant association with age, gender, severity of depression or anxiety, history of suicidal attempts or mood disorder. Three weeks of treatment with serotoninergic antidepressants induced a significant decrease in anger attack prevalence.
