Dr. Lv Zhiqin
The manifestations and symptoms of irritability syndrome can primarily be summarized as follows:
1. Emotional symptoms: Patients often exhibit emotional instability, such as irritability, excitability, restlessness, anxiety, and tension. These symptoms can severely impact the patient's daily life and work, leading to difficulty concentrating and significant mood swings.
2. Physical symptoms: Patients with irritability syndrome may also experience a series of physical symptoms, including dizziness, headache, palpitations, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, frequent urination, urgency, sweating, and more. These symptoms are typically associated with autonomic nervous system dysfunction, affecting multiple systems such as the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory systems. Patients may experience physical discomfort or even feel weak and exhausted.
3. Behavioral manifestations: Behaviorally, patients may display restlessness, pacing back and forth, hand-wringing, or foot-tapping. They may find it difficult to remain still, constantly feeling the need to stay active to alleviate inner agitation and unease.
It is recommended that patients with irritability syndrome seek timely medical attention to alleviate symptoms through psychotherapy and medication.
