another person either physically or mentally. While

a sign of an underlying mental health condition, a
substance use disorder, or another medical issue.

Violence and aggression are a part of being human. By understanding where our
desire to inflict pain comes from we can have insights into controlling our
aggressive and violent tendencies. Although through research it has been
identified that violence in TV can cause violence in real life, biological,
cultural and physiological factors play some role in people displaying
aggression in real life. Aggressive behavior needs to be identified, analyzed,
and dealt with constructively. If you don’t focus on treating your aggressive
behavior, it can evolve into a persistent violent outbreak.
