现实生活中，有的人很容易发怒，周围的人都只知道此人脾气大，却很少想到此人很可能是患了一种疾病。
中医将容易发怒称为“善怒”。中医理论认为，肝属于刚强、躁急的脏器，喜欢舒畅柔和的情绪，而不喜欢抑郁的情绪，其情绪表现主要为发怒。所以，善怒主要与肝有关，主要为肝郁气滞、肝火上升、脾虚肝乘等三种症候。
对肝郁气滞引起的善怒，首先要通过精神养生的方法来调节神志和情志，并针对病因采取疏导的方法来进行治疗。饮食上可多吃些具有疏肝理气作用的食物，如芹菜、茼蒿、西红柿、萝卜、橙子、柚子、柑橘、香橼、佛手等。
对肝火所引起的善怒，除应戒烟限酒、忌食甘肥辛辣的食品外，要适量多吃清肝泻热的食物，如苦瓜、苦菜、西红柿、绿豆、绿豆芽、黄豆芽、芹菜、白菜、包心菜、金针菜、油菜、丝瓜、李子、青梅、山楂及柑橘等。
对脾虚引起的善怒要健脾理气为主，饮食上应多吃一些有健脾益气功效的食物，如扁豆、高粱米、薏米、荞麦、栗子、莲子、芡实、山药、大枣、胡萝卜、包心菜、南瓜、柑橘、橙子等食物
