Irritability can be a growing response to the objective stimuli of hunger or thirst in animals or humans which then reaches some level of awareness of that need. Irritability may be demonstrated in behavioral responses to both physiological and behavioral stimuli including environmental, situational, sociological, and emotional stimuli. Irritability is the state of feeling aggravated, frustrated, or being prone to simple anger. This type of state is commonly found when in stressful or pressured situations. These states can coincide with social lives and daily routines, making it more difficult to maintain. It is considered for someone to be 'irritable' when they have a short temper and immediately becomes frustrated in their situation. Not knowing how to stay calm in the situation can show the state of being irritable. This signifies that something is not right and needs to be brought to attention. It is important to know how to handle and where to seek help when feeling heavy irritation. Irritability is considered an emotion and can affect the mood in a negative way. Irritability is commonly developed from anxiety disorders. The fight or flight responses triggered in the brain can make irritability easily developed and result in severe grouchiness and aggravation towards other people. Stress hormones take over and lead to attitudes of negative reactions. Feelings of fatigue and difficulty of concentrating plays a part of this type of mood.
