Emotion Dysregulation

Emotion dysregulation refers to difficulty managing and responding to emotional experiences appropriately. It can cause intense or rapid shifts in feelings, making it hard to stay calm or clear-headed. People with this challenge may overreact to situations, struggle to soothe themselves, or have trouble controlling impulses when emotions are high. This can impact their relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being. It often occurs in various mental health conditions but can also exist independently. Understanding and developing skills to regulate emotions can help improve stability and emotional health.
