Hello, this is Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic. # Can't Control Your Emotions? Suddenly Feeling Upset and Angry—You Can Master It Now. Have you ever experienced a sudden surge of anger, unprovoked tears, or easy irritation over minor things? Surprisingly, many people suffer, saying, "I can't control my emotions," unlike usual. Especially for modern people who have accumulated stress and fatigue, such mood swings can lower the vitality of daily life and negatively affect interpersonal relationships. It may be an important signal sent by the brain and body to be dismissed simply as a 'personality problem' or 'mood'. 💡 **[Key Answer]** 3 most common causes of 'Can't control my emotions': ① Autonomic imbalance / ② Brain neurotransmitter disruption / ③ Chronic stress and fatigue Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic helps the brain self-regulate emotions and find stability through **autonomic stabilization**. ## Why do I suddenly feel upset and have difficulty controlling my emotions? Emotion is not just a matter of the mind, but a phenomenon that appears through the complex action of the brain, autonomic nervous system, and various neurotransmitters. Suddenly being unable to control emotions can be a signal that the balance of these systems is broken. In particular, if stress persists, the sympathetic nervous system of our bodies becomes overly activated, and the parasympathetic nervous system responsible for rest and recovery is weakened, causing autonomic imbalance. This affects the function of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, which are the emotion control centers of the brain, creating a state where emotions explode or do not easily subside even with minor stimulation. In this process, abnormalities may also occur in the secretion of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. ## How does Korean medicine approach autonomic imbalance and emotional control disorders? In Korean medicine, emotional control disorders are not viewed simply as psychological problems, but the overall balance of the body, especially the problems of 'fire (火)' and 'stagnation (鬱)', is dealt with importantly. The symptom of suddenly getting upset and angry is often viewed in the category of 'Hwabyung', which is known as a culturally related syndrome unique to Korea where suppressed anger and stress appear as physical symptoms. Accompanied by chest tightness, heat sensation, headache, sleep disturbance, etc., autonomic dysfunction is observed together. The effectiveness of this Korean medicine approach to autonomic imbalance and emotional control disorder has been proven through various studies. According to a systematic review of 27 randomized controlled clinical trials (total 1,782 participants) published by NCCIH (National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health) in 2022, acupuncture treatment was more effective and had fewer side effects than other treatments (mainly drugs) in relieving anxiety symptoms in patients with generalized anxiety disorder. The researchers explained that acupuncture treatment has a biochemical mechanism that regulates the balance of the autonomic nervous system to reduce stress responses and promote nerve relaxation. In addition, in a study by Myeong Soo Lee et al. research team published in the *International Journal of Neuroscience* in 2005, as a result of administering herbal medicine (Ondamtang-gamibang) or placebo to 20 subjects, the herbal medicine administration group confirmed that autonomic functions were stabilized, such as a decrease in the low-frequency/high-frequency ratio of heart rate variability (HRV) and a decrease in heart rate. The researchers concluded that herbal medicine contributes to stabilizing both the autonomic nervous system and emotional state by stabilizing the emotional state and regulating the balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Based on these scientific principles of Korean medicine, Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic focuses on correcting the balance of the autonomic nervous system, which is the root of emotion. This is not simply suppressing symptoms, but helping the brain self-regulate and recover emotions through **autonomic stabilization**. ## If the brain cannot rest, emotion control becomes difficult: The importance of autonomic stabilization The lives of modern people are exposed to constant stimulation and stress. At this time, the body's autonomic nervous system must maintain balance by reacting like an accelerator (sympathetic) and brake (parasympathetic) of a car. However, chronic stress destroys this balance and prevents the brain from resting. When the brain overheats, it reacts sensitively to small stimuli, increases the range of emotions, and loses control ability. It is like an overheated engine malfunctioning. Dalimchae Korean Medicine Clinic Incheon Branch creates an environment where the brain can rest and recover on its own by resolving this autonomic imbalance. We help the brain reach a comfortable state by lowering excessive heat in the nervous system and improving circulation. In Korean medicine, this is called 'Suseung-hwagang (水昇火降)', which is considered important to make the upper body cool and the lower abdomen warm to smooth the circulation of body energy. Such treatment helps improve not only sudden upsetting emotions, but also various brain and autonomic system symptoms that easily appear together, such as insomnia, headache, and dizziness. Many people visiting the Songdo emotional control Korean medicine clinic are visiting with these complex symptoms. ## Check yourself?
