Boiling Point microsite
The www.yourboilingpoint.org.uk microsite takes a lighthearted look at anger to encourage people to think about the role of anger in their lives, but for some people, anger can be a serious problem. The microsite does not help people to identify whether they are experiencing problem anger nor does it offer medical advice. If you are concerned about your anger or another aspect of your mental health, you should consult your GP.
