Many causes: Occasional irritability is a common human experience. Lasting or frequent irritability is abnormal and can suggest a large number of possible mental disorders (especially a depressive or other mood disorder). Irritability can also stem from irrational beliefs and expectations--these are readily addressed with psychotherapies. If irritability is lasting or frequent please see your doctor.
