Emotions can sometimes be enjoyable or, at other times, be destructive.Emotions like joy, happiness, love, and others are good for people and good for the health.But you also have emotions like anger, sadness, and depression.They are also emotions but they can be hard to handle at times.People are able to channel that emotions and control it most of the time.  But there are situations that make some of these emotions dangerous.

For example, depression is a tough situation to get out of.It may be caused by some tragic or traumatic event in one’s life.  Things like the loss of a loved one can trigger it.Or it can also be caused by a chemcal imbalance in your body.  One dangerous emotion that happened in the news is when a man whose depression turned to anger.His situation is hopeless and that is the reason why his depression became anger.
