Can having an anxiety disorder cause someone to be irritable?

I have a history of ADHD, depression, and anxiety. I’m often irritable and moody, and my mother, who is a nursing student, has told me that the reason why I’m often irritable is because of my anxiety problem. Could this be the cause of my irritability?

Sure, think about it. If you aren’t comfortable in your own skin, then everything feels like an assault on you.
Yes!! Very easy to get irritable and moody.
Absolutely. I have ADD myself, and I’ve often been called a walking bad mood.
Sure is!

Yes! Absolutely. It’s almost a direct by product of it. Anxiety causes lots of stress and stressed people are very very moody and irritable. I’m a very anxious person and I really have had to figure out how to iron out my moods because it was getting to people. I exercise now to help mood, my body and my general well-being. I also make sure I take a break from life every once and a while. No thinking, worries and all that. It’s hard to train yourself to do, but it helps so much. If you pray, pray and if you don’t meditate. It’s an immensely useful skill.
Good luck.
