Anger (2013, India PSP)

Anger

 

In Korea there is a mental disorder called Hwa-byung. It is a kind of anger syndrome and it is caused by repressed anger or stress. The most interesting thing is that the disease is only found by Korean people. So the Korean name Hwa-byung is registered on the international association of psychiatry.

 

The symptoms are various and similar to most mental diseases but the point of it is repression. Korean people have made many sacrifices for the family and society. Especially women in the family have pent-up feelings by of a patriarchal system.

 

Most people are worried about an explosion of anger but really fearful thing is the repression of anger because it can causes a lot of physical symptoms and encroaches on our self-existence mentally.

 

Experts say that we should take away our angry feelings immediately. In the same way we clean our all the junk from our room. And we should be conscious that we must control our happiness. The most important thing is that we don’t avoid going to the hospital of psychiatry and ask for help to the experts if we got this mental problem.
