Excessive Irritability / Nervousness
An irritable person often cannot control their emotions, but if one understands the cause of their irritability, they will be able to limit it significantly. Here are the causes of excessive irritability:
- Genetic Factors: It may be due to heredity, such as when one parent is naturally irritable, which in turn affects the children.
- Psychological Issues: Exposure to problems such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, loneliness, deprivation, and life pressures.
- Work and Social Pressures: Problems at work, daily routine, and stress resulting from various social issues.
- Incurable Diseases: Suffering from a terminal illness can lead the patient to experience intense agitation and severe irritability.
- Hormonal Changes in Women: Women experience irritability during menstruation and pregnancy due to hormonal fluctuations in the body.
- Fear: When feeling afraid, the body secretes adrenaline, which triggers irritability and quick emotional outbursts.
- Low Blood Sugar: Hypoglycemia can increase nervousness and tension in many individuals.
- Emotional Conflicts: Relationship issues and marital disputes increase depression and irritability, while also causing psychological disturbances for children.
- Hyperthyroidism: Increased secretion from the thyroid gland in the body heightens nervousness and irritability.
- Menopause: Hormonal changes during menopause or the approach of the menstrual cycle.
- Iron Deficiency or Malnutrition: Anemia or general poor nutrition can cause irritability and a constant feeling of exhaustion and fatigue.
- Chronic Illnesses: Diseases such as cancer, heart disease, or arthritis affect the psychological state and cause excessive irritability.
- Psychological Stress: Friction, arguments, and disputes—especially in the workplace—increase irritability and agitation.
