Dr. Barbara Lavi answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

What's going on: in your life? Are you having trouble at work or with relationships? Waking up agitated could be a reaction to life stressors or related to other psychological disorders like bipolar disorder. If there are no clear medical issues, consider speaking with a psychologist and/or psychiatrist to get a clear diagnosis.
