It can also affect someone's mood and make them more prone to symptoms of anxiety or depression. Irritation is a state of partial physiological agitation which involves a heightened sense of sensory stimuli, a brain-not mediated lowered threshold for responding to less vexing situations with anger or aggression, and a higher likelihood of outbursts of angry behavior (Digiuseppe Tafrate & Digiuseppe 2007). Irritability is often triggered by hunger, fatigue and sleeplessness or pain. It can be a symptom of hormone changes, like those experienced during premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In one study, researchers surveyed 287 students to assess their level of anxiety. Researchers discovered that those who had extreme irritability also had more psychiatric issues than those who did not. They also had more difficulties with daily activities than those who did not have an episode of irritability. Try relaxation techniques to reduce your irritability.
