Rage.

Rage is uncontrolled anger, often at an extreme level. It may blanket out other normal feelings, such as pain. Rage is commonly associated with illogical thinking and behaviours.

A frequent behaviour when a person is in a rage emotional state is a no consideration of consequences, to themselves or others. 'Road rage' and other similar 'rages' do not consider the probable consequences of those rage actions. A person hitting a wall 'in rage' is not considering the consequence of their pain and discomfort, their possible inconvenience to the health services, or even the damage to the wall.

People do things for a reason. Finding that reason is often difficult, it can be very important.

Rage is often a habit, of a person who commonly progresses from their anger into a rage state. There might have been a past situation when their rage state achieved what they wanted at that time; that was the reward. That instance may provide some emotional reason for using the same behaviour in other situations. If the rage does not achieve the desired results there will be added frustration, probably leading to more anger and more rage.

Consciously, or unconsciously, people perform actions for reasons - as they perceive them. Following that reasoning, a person might have a reason for entering into a rage state; it will be their decision to do so. 

Counselling can bring the reality into this situation, to enable the client to make their own decisions on how to react in situations which are likely to occur in their lives. They can then decide to 'go into rage' - or not.
