a bunch of recent studies have shown fish oils/Omega-3 supplements help with anger management. they did a study on a prison population placebo vs omega-3's and the murder/assault rate went WAY down.

here's some -
http://www.acunut.com/nutritionviolence.html
The UK prison trial at Aylesbury jail showed that when young men there were fed multivitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, the number of violent
offences they committed in the prison fell by 37%. Although no one is suggesting that poor diet alone can account for complex social problems, the former
chief inspector of prisons Lord Ramsbotham says that he is now "absolutely convinced that there is a direct link between diet and antisocial behaviour,
both that bad diet causes bad behaviour and that good diet prevents it."
The Dutch government is currently conducting a large trial to see if nutritional supplements have the same effect on its prison population. And this week,
new claims were made that fish oil had improved behaviour and reduced aggression among children with some of the most severe behavioural difficulties
in the UK.
The researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which is part of NIH, had placed adverts for aggressive alcoholics in the Washington Post in 2001. Some 80 volunteers came forward and have since been enrolled in the double blind study. They have ranged from homeless people to a teacher to a former secret service agent. Following a period of three weeks' detoxification on a locked ward, half were randomly assigned to 2 grams per day of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA for three months, and half to placebos of fish-flavoured corn oil.
An earlier pilot study on 30 patients with violent records found that those given omega-3 supplements had their anger reduced by one-third, measured by standard scales of hostility and irritability, regardless of whether they were relapsing and drinking again. The bigger trial is nearly complete now and Dell Wright, the nurse administering the pills, has seen startling changes in those on the fish oil rather than the placebo. "When Demar came in there was always an undercurrent of aggression in his behaviour. Once he was on the supplements he took on the ability not to be impulsive. He kept saying, 'This is not like me'."

Fish Oil May Reduce Aggressive Behavior
Published November 8th, 2006 Health , Food , Fat , Fish , Omega-3-fats , Omega-3
A few weeks ago The Guardian published an interesting article about how omega-3 can reduce aggressive behavior. They write about a man who used to be aggressive and spent a lot of time in jail. He participated in a trial at the National Institutes for Health in the USA, where the participants were given 2 grams of fish oil per day for three months.
The fish oil made it easier for him to control his anger, and he has stayed out of trouble since he started eating the fish oil. Others who participated in the trial are also much more calm and less aggressive.
There are also a few other studies that have investigated if nutrients and omega-3 can improve behavior. At the Aylesbury jail violent offences dropped 37 % when they were fed essential fatty acids, vitamines and minerals.

Sounds genetic. I don't know what could help you in that case except that you have to recognize it and control it yourself. You could control your temper if you set your mind to it. Three words: Will Power Baby!!!

Learn to anticipate it, recognize situations where you are bound to react w/ anger and learn how to step back for a second before letting it all fly out. Outside of chemical imbalance, you are the only person who can control you. You know when its goign to happen so anticipate it. Part of it is just calming the adrenalin kick before it sets in and you get short. If you just start to feel annoyance and get short, then its fair to just say you need to step away from whatever is the source.

I use to be like that....getting into fights, pulling people over during road rage, etc.
The older I get the more I realize how dangerous it is. Someone could easily pull a gun and I'd be dead.
Now I do everything I can to avoid the situation. I watch where I go and who I am around. If someone is making me mad driving I will pull over in a gas station for a few minutes while I cool down.
2 things to remember...
1. No matter how good of a fighter you are, there is always someone meaner, bigger, or willing to shoot you.
2. People will piss you off, lie, cheat, steal, etc......it's a given part of life and something you will have to learn to overlook and get past or end up stressed out all the time and/or in jail.

What she said. Like with any other negative behavior learn to recognize your triggers and find strategies to react differently. It is no different than unlearning any other negative behavior. As far as it being genetic, you are only behaving the only way you know how. (from watching family members) That does not mean that you can not learn another way to be.
You make a conscious choice in how you decide to react regardless of what the outside stimuli is and are in total control of your emotions at all times.
I used to have a real shitty temper, broke a lot of things, threw a lot of things ...
Really, what Bikinimom said about getting a grip on triggers was a big help, cognitive therapy, like smurfy said, can work wonders for the right personality, Sassy's advise is right on ...
One thing that really helped me ... realize that when you have a vicious temper there is a real part of you that allows yourself to have that temper. Realizing that you do not have to give into your temper goes a long way to keeping a lid on things. You take a couple of deep breaths, you count to ten and you let it go.
In short, just because you're pissed off about something doesn't mean you have to act on it. If you think about it, you really don't have the rightto take your temper out on other people. When I realized how selfish my temper actually was, it cooled shit out immensely.
