Irritability is characterized by feelings of restlessness, aggression, and impatience. It involves having a low threshold for frustration that results in angry outbursts, tantrums, or mood swings over minor stressors.
Key Signs and Symptoms
- Agitation - Feeling wound up, restless, or tense
- Low frustration tolerance - Easily annoyed by minor inconveniences
- Verbal or physical aggression - Outbursts of temper, yelling, throwing things
- Mood swings - Rapid shifts in mood for no clear reason
Causes
Irritability can have many potential causes, including:
- Mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder
- Physical illnesses such as chronic pain, sleep deprivation, or hormonal imbalances
- Medication side effects
- Substance withdrawal
When to Seek Help
If irritability persists daily for over 2 weeks and is impairing work, relationships, or quality of life, it's time to consult a doctor or mental health professional. They can:
- Rule out any underlying illness causing symptoms
- Provide therapy for managing mood and behavior
- Prescribe medications if needed
Getting irritability under control leads to better mental health and interpersonal functioning.
