Irritability is a symptom of SAD that can impact your relationships and overall well-being. You may find yourself becoming easily frustrated or annoyed, even in situations that wouldn’t typically bother you. This symptom can contribute to feelings of anxiety and depression, making it challenging to manage other symptoms of SAD.
