The paper presents a review of the intricate relationship between resentment and different areas of life. By synthesizing existing research, it examines how resentment often stems from perceived injustices and unfair treatment, manifesting as anger, frustration, and disappointment. The review explores how persistent resentment can lead to chronic stress and inflammation, increasing the risk of health issues such as heart disease, hypertension, and autoimmune disorders. It also considers the impact of resentment on mental health, including its connection to anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Additionally, resentment can disrupt social relationships by causing strain and limiting support networks. By evaluating current studies, this review identifies patterns, discrepancies, and gaps in the existing research. It highlights opportunities for future investigation to address these gaps, offering potential strategies and interventions to improve our understanding of resentment's role in health and well-being. Ultimately, this paper aims to guide future research efforts and develop interventions to enhance health outcomes related to resentment.
