Irritability or short temper

Irritability or a short temper means you react with frustration or anger more quickly than usual, often over small matters. It can stem from emotional stress, sleep deprivation, or underlying health conditions. Ayurveda views this as excess Pitta affecting the mind and emotions.

Common Causes of Irritability or short temper

  • Chronic stress or burnout
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Hormonal changes (PMS, menopause, thyroid issues)
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Blood sugar fluctuations
