AN OVERVIEW OF CHRONIC ANGER AND ITS IMPACT ON THE PHYSICALAND MENTAL HEALTH OF PASTORS IN NIGERIA
Abstract
This study examined chronic anger and its impact on physical and mental health of pastors. It adopted three research objectives and applied the Frustration-Aggression Theory as its theoretical framework. Using a secondary data research approach, information was collected from scholarly journals, books, and empirical studies relevant to chronic anger, including its causes, characteristics, and consequences. The study employed thematic analysis to interpret the data and identify patterns in the effects of chronic anger. Findings revealed that chronic anger significantly affect physical health, contributing to elevated blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, and weakened immunity including intensified mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, cognitive impairments, and emotional instability. The study further identified contributing factors, such as psychological traits, biological predispositions, environmental stressors, and underlying mental health conditions. Research showed that the impact of chronic anger among pastors is multi-faceted, with physical and spiritual consequences. Recommendations were made to address this problem among pastors in Nigeria.
