Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

She is 46 years old and is suffering from last 20 years. She has complaints of aggression and have violent tendencies like throwing household items. Though details evaluation is needed but these symptoms can guide us towards bipolar disorder or some psychotic disorder. I would advise you to take her to a psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment.
Never argue with her and try to accept her anger. Keep any potential harmful item like knife, flammable liquids or insecticide away from her reach.
Medicines like Sodium valproate, lithium carbonate, carbamazepine etc are commonly used to reduce anger and help in mood stabilisation. These are prescription medicines and need prescription from a doctor.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
