How to use "Irritable" in context?
Irritable is a type of anger that often feels uncontrollable. People with this type of anger might startle easily, have trouble concentrating, and have quick reactions. Irritable people often find it difficult to stick to plans and can become quickly frustrated.
There is not one specific cause for irritability. It can be a symptom of many different conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, and depression. Some medications can also cause irritability.
Irritable people tend to have a hard time dealing with stress and frustration. They might start monopolizing conversations, become critical, or lash out.
