What To Deal With Excess Anger And Rage From An Elderly Person?
My husband is 78 years old, and is having times of anger and shouting at me, when later he will be kind and loving. I dont know if this just comes with age (I m 71) or if it is the beginning of something. Today, earlier he responded to our best with a real jovial attitude, then later was rude.

Yes it's a common thing because with age these moments of anger can come. Why don't you first speak to him and let him know that you are noticing this change in him and hear him out,and if still continues check with your family doctors if any anti anxiety drugs to relax him down should be given. anyways please be patient and understanding
