Is this copied from a self help book/website ?
Really this article is pretty bad - with many sections focusing on giving some sort of advise, rather than a detached academic treatment of what anxiety is and what causes it.

The attribution of 'poor lifestyle' as a cause is pretty poor too - what does this mean? It sounds like something a Sunday school teacher would say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.164.180.193 (talk) 12:32, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

i was fixing some of the links, so now instead of PMS and PTSD we have premenstrual syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder, with irritability mentioned in each page. there was a link to "pregency" which i assume is supposed to mean "pregnancy", but irritability isn't mentioned on the pregnancy page, so i removed it. 80.178.72.222 05:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

is there a chance that if youre getting this say from both hunger and pain its worse? 87.69.104.136 00:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I would think that only the sufferer could answer that. Aren't both pain and hunger relative? PMHauge 01:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * heh, in that case the answer is yes. 80.178.193.191 23:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

i'm not sure whether this source is reliable, but this page - http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/irritability.htm looks really, really detailed. 80.178.14.59 06:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Done?
I get this feeling that this list will never stop growing until it encompasses every condition, ailment and situation that could befall mankind. I mean, won't just about anything manage to irritate at least someone? PMHauge 13:21, 17 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It wouldn't if we could more exactly define irritability. Being irritated shouldn't be the smane thing. — trlkly 09:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

probably a candidate for deletion as it seems nothing more that a definition and has no references. Given the current form - a list could include
 * bad drivers
 * homework
 * work colleagues
 * washing the dishes
 * when the newspaper boy throws the paper in a puddle
 * not having a coffee
 * being really really sick

 * taking too many drugs
 * reading silly wikipedia articles

this article seems to simply be a defintion and like a dictionary Earlypsychosis (talk) 08:54, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The Biological Definition
This article ignores the biologist's definition of irritability, which is simply the ability of an organism to respond actively to physical stimuli. If there are no objections, I'll add this section. rowley (talk) 22:50, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

management and treatment
add these sections — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A03:2880:3010:7FF3:FACE:B00C:0:1 (talk) 06:53, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Irritability
Why is there a page for an emotion? Wikipedia isn't supposed to have pages about things that can only be seen by a living being.--Trisha Gaurav (talk) 03:31, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

What it is:
Irritability causes you to have a negative mind-set. The feeling of agitation.

Why it occurs:
Physical, Psychological, and Medical reasons. Psychological: This can be mainly caused due to stress, anxiety, or depression. Physical: Lack of sleep, sickness, unsteady body conditions (ex. low-blood sugar) Medical: drug use, diabetes, alcohol

General Page Improvements
I'm a relatively new user interested in improving this page. I plan to:


 * Add references
 * For example, these excellent reviews
 * Improve the prose
 * Particularly in the Types section
 * Make some structural changes
 * This page is written as if irritability is a standalone psychiatric condition, but I think it may be more appropriate to describe it as a symptom related to many different disorders.

I plan to make incremental changes over the next few weeks. I welcome feedback and suggestions and am interested in working collaboratively. Thanks! Joshal (talk) 22:29, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Content Revision Update on Findings and Clinical Standards
I revised the page to provide an academic and clinical perspective as many of us clinicians and investigators are now heavily focused in this area. IrrMD (talk) 17:43, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The focus of the page was is largely on irritability as a personality trait and symptom. Given it's importance for public health, this page likely needs a to be separated via disambiguation from biologic irritability, which needs its own page.
 * I'm a new user, so I need to learn how to do this. :-)
 * The source material tries to stick to primary evidence or authoritative review in peer reviewed journals, crediting folks who originally posed ideas or found evidence.
 * This needs some prose editing, but I needed to first outline the basic content.
 * I very much appreciated the layout and guidance, thanks Joshal!.
 * I'll keep working on the page to flesh out clinical, translational, and biological issues.
