Symptoms of generalized anxiety is common in the general population and is often treated in primary health care. Anger is an emotion that can lead to interpersonal problems but can also be an agent for justice and change. Previous research has shown a link between generalized anxiety and anger but there is a lack of qualitative research investigating how individuals with symptoms of generalized anxiety experience anger. The aim of this research study is to increase knowledge about how anger is experienced in adult patients in primary health care with symptoms of generalized anxiety and about the experiences of health care professionals working with patients with symptoms of generalized anxiety.
