Other factors.
According to Healthline, a variety of factors can act as a catalyst for aggressive behavior:
- family structure
- relationships with others
- work or school environment
- societal or socioeconomic factors
- individual characteristics
- health conditions
- psychiatric conditions
- life experiences
Aggression in children is usually a product of compounding negative conditions like poor parenting, pre-existing health conditions, or a lack of relationship skills. Being exposed to violence at home or school can cause a child to imitate such actions. Parents can unknowingly encourage or reward such behavior only making things worse. Conditions such as bipolar disorder, depression, paranoia, ADHD, and schizophrenia can also cause children to lash out due to an inability to deal with emotions; sometimes children cannot verbalize and resort to action to portray emotion.
Adults are also affected by the same conditions as children, but have some additional factors to consider. Some adults are subject to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or anxiety, making it harder to deal with the stresses of everyday life.
Luckily there are ways to help people cope with their conditions and assist them in dealing with stress and their emotions. Behavioral therapy is the most common solution, determining the underlying cause of aggression and working their life around it.
