Irritability is a common symptom that could be a result of a mental health condition. It could also be due to an underlying physical issue, such as hormone imbalances or food intolerance.

Irritation is a mood of partial physiological agitation that results from a greater sense of sensory stimuli, a brain-not mediated lowered threshold for responding to typically less vexing stimuli with anger or aggression, and an increased tendency to rage out in anger behaviour (Digiuseppe & Tafrate 2007). Irritability is caused by hunger or fatigue, poor sleep or pain. It could be a sign of hormonal changes, like those that occur during premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
In one study researchers surveyed 287 college students about their levels anxiety and psychiatric symptoms. Researchers found that those who suffered from severe irritability also suffered more mental health issues than those who didn’t. They also reported more difficulty in their daily lives than those without the irritable episodes.
