In layman’s terms, if you are slightly provoked to blow up, slightly provoked to get angry, it is likely to be a “irritable”. To put it bluntly, this is a state of overreaction, and the manifestations include annoyance, impatience and even anger and violence. Strictly speaking, irritability is not really a disease. Some people are easily irritated because of their own personality and temperament; some people suddenly become irritable and eventually find out that it is due to some kind of mental illness, such as mania, depression or anxiety. But there are also many people who, although they are in fair mental health and do not have serious mood disorders or mental illnesses, they may become more and more easily irritated because of the stress and discomfort that slowly accumulates in their lives.

As a simple example, when you feel like blowing up, desperately remind yourself to “take a deep breath and wait a minute before you get angry”, then after a minute, the actions you take may become much more calm and rational. And this must be when you have the will to self-management, will only take the behavior. Of course, in addition to such an emergency method, it is more important to free yourself from the irritable state.
