Emotional Health Must be Protected and Valued Same as Physical Health
The effects of emotional abuse are just as detrimental as the effects of physical abuse. However, the law does not protect us from emotional abuse. Emotional health must be recognized in healthcare, education, and protected in government. It is our privilege right to being a United States Citizen. Psychological or emotional abuse damages the brain. Typically the damage is commonly known as trauma. Trauma alters the ventromedial prefrontal cortex region of the brain. This region of the brain is responsible for regulating emotional responses triggered by the amygdala. The result of trauma, damage to the brain is associated with mental health difficulties. Disruptions in frontoamygdala functional connectivity have been linked to a wide array of mental health disorders, including depression (Kaiser et al., 2015), anxiety (Kim et al., 2011; Hamm et al., 2014), post-traumatic stress disorder (Gilboa et al., 2004; Bryant et al., 2008), and personality and conduct disorders (Marsh et al., 2008).

Anger is an “acute” stress response
Anger and fear are associated with different biological responses to an acute stressor associated with higher post-stressor cortisol levels. Anger Intensification With Combat-Related PTSD and Depression Comorbidity
Anger is not an illness, Mental Health not Appropriate Intervention
According to the American Psychiatric Association, anger is not an illness. The current DSM (DSM-IV) diagnostic manual does not include anger as a diaagnosable disorder. Therefore, mental health professionals are not qualified treating anger.
Because anger is not an illness counseling, psychotherapy, and psychotropic medication is not an appropriate intervention and should not be considered for treatment.
These criminal law programs are overlooked mandating “anger management” programs: and we need to make a change: Drug and Alcohol Treatment, Batterer Intervention Program, Domestic Violence, Veterans Court.
Research shows individuals with inability of self-regulation skills are more prone to Domestic Violence, Substance abuse, and firearms. Effective treatments for anger are by an Anger Management Specialists. The credentials of an Anger Management Specialist are CAM symbolizing, " Certified Anger Management Specialist," such as our founder Martha Watson PhD., CAM-II.
After seven years a caregiver become diseased from the stress
Caregiver stress can lead to serious health problems
Some of the ways stress affects caregivers include:
• Depression and anxiety. Women who are caregivers are more likely than men to develop symptoms of anxiety and
depression. Anxiety and depression also raise your risk for other health problems, such as heart disease and stroke.
• Weak immune system. Stressed caregivers may have weaker immune systems than noncaregivers and spend more days sick
with the cold or flu. A weak immune system can also make vaccines such as flu shots less effective. Also, it may take longer
to recover from surgery.
• Obesity. Stress causes weight gain in more women than men. Obesity raises your risk for other health problems, including
heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
• Higher risk for chronic diseases. High levels of stress, especially when combined with depression, can raise your risk for
health problems, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or arthritis.
• Problems with short-term memory or paying attention Caregivers of spouses with Alzheimer's disease are at higher risk for
problems with short-term memory and focusing.
