What is is frustrated and mad the same thing?

Frustrated and mad are not the same thing although they may be related. Frustrated refers to feeling disappointed or hindered when one's expectations or goals are not being met. Mad, on the other hand, refers to feeling angry or enraged about something. While frustration may lead to feeling angry, being mad does not necessarily involve feeling frustrated. Additionally, frustration may be a milder emotion than anger and can be caused by minor setbacks, whereas being mad usually involves more intense emotions and may be triggered by more significant events or experiences.
