Irritability can be a natural response to the annoyances of daily life, whether that’s sitting in a traffic jam or facing a disagreement about politics. However, irritability gets out-of-hand when it begins to negatively impact mental health and relationships, leaving individuals feeling worthless, drained, facing heightened conflict, or in emotional pain well after the initial stimulus.

Irritability can also be a symptom of underlying mental health conditions, such as depression or sleep disorders.
