It involves a heightened sensory sensitivity, a noncognitively mediated lower threshold to react with anger or aggression to less vexing stimuli, and a higher tendency to be irritable (Digiuseppe, Tafrate 2007). Irritability is caused by fatigue or hunger and can be caused by poor sleep or discomfort. It can be a symptom of hormone changes, such as 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 severe irritability also suffered more psychiatric issues than those who did not. They also reported having more difficulty getting through their day as compared to those who didn't suffer from irritable episodes. To decrease your irritability Try practicing relaxation techniques.
