About Irritability

Irritability is not a medical procedure but a common symptom that an Internal Medicine specialist evaluates and manages. As a symptom, it refers to an excessive or inappropriate emotional response to stimuli, often manifesting as frustration, anger, or agitation. An Internal Medicine doctor conducts a comprehensive assessment to diagnose the underlying cause, which can range from psychological conditions like anxiety or depression to physical ailments such as hormonal imbalances (e.g., hyperthyroidism), chronic pain, neurological disorders, or medication side effects. The management plan is tailored to the root cause and may involve lifestyle modifications, counseling, medication adjustments, or treatment of the primary medical condition. Addressing irritability is crucial for improving quality of life and overall well-being.
