Pancreatitis is generally aggravated by anger. This is because becoming angry can lead to endocrine disorders and gastrointestinal dysfunction. When both the endocrine system and gastrointestinal function become disrupted, the burden on the pancreas increases, which not only hinders recovery but may also worsen the condition. Therefore, pancreatitis is typically sensitive to emotional stress such as anger.
