Hostility

When to make a doctor’s appointment

See a doctor if:

• Affects relationships at work, school, or home
• Difficult to control
• Feeling down or depressed, interrupted sleep, or loss of appetite

Self-care

Slow down and take deep breaths before responding to situations that provoke hostility. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and abstinence from alcohol may also help.
