Is scolding one's parents and raising one's voice at them considered undutifulness to parents?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In another question, she says: I am a very hot-tempered girl, and I have a psychological condition. When my mother speaks to me about a certain matter, I scold her, and sometimes I raise my voice at her. Is this considered undutifulness to parents?

Answer:
Yes, this is considered undutifulness to parents and mistreatment of the mother or father. Allah the Exalted said:
Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا
[Al-Isra 17:23]
So you must repent to Allah, be gentle in your speech with your mother, and be kind to her. Yes.
