MN is most likely not the place that will give some valid statistics, but do people have experiences with angry people? That type that actually need intervention?

What is that anger caused by?

Sometimes it's learned behaviour, ie they had an angry parent and grew up thinking it was normal.

Abusive childhood and traumatic life experiences, or bad example shown to them by an angry parent.

No one is born with good emotional regulation, it's something we are taught during our early life, through co-regulation with a safe adult - think tantrumming toddlers being soothed by being rocked or hugged.

Where people had poor experiences in their early life, or were parented by people who have their own difficulties, sometimes they aren't helped with this in the way that is ideal.

In my experience, people who struggle with anger were often left to struggle alone with their emotions as a small child.

Trauma

In my experience frustration. Frustration over their own perceived or actual inadequacy or the perceived inadequacy of others.
