Anger is a common substitute for the sorrow we feel in life.
It's allright to let out your anger, in a civil fashion, in discussions with a psychologist, even if you have a few plates from IKEA you want to throw at the wall (I have to include humour), but yes -- at that level, its something that needs to be channeled against itself into something more positive. Something that will get you forward.
You can be angry at the world for all that has happened to you, and it isn't fair at all -- I'm depressed, which also carries anger, where I am in life because I feel I deserve more and future achievement than I'm currently constrained in, though I have to give credit for what I have done in the past. But staying in one spot like that won't push you forward.
But as for criminal behaviour, which would include beating someone to death... um.... no.But then perhaps my issues are different and turned inward, I don't have homicidal views, I guess I am lucky to have the parents I do, who are capable of getting therapy I really need. I've always been close to them so I guess I don't identify quite as much.
Rather I'm so introverted and sad with life that I have what is natural to have, passing suicidal and very morose views, as I struggle with what I believe to be the most serious disorder in my life.
I'd rather not be in the jail mental wards, which are not pretty places.
If that level of anger is entering your life, on a level that ... well... hmm.... I'm not trying to play armchair psychiatrist, I think there's some sort of psychosis attached to it, but I don't wish to be demeaning -- that's for your doctor to decide, and if you can't get along with your doctor you have one choice as an adult, try to voice your disagreements more, or get a second opinion.
It would behoove you to think about how to manage the anger at all the things that you have gone through in life with coping skills and maybe with a possible change in medication regime because I don't think you want to go down that path more than in a passing fantasy....do you?
-- best wishes
