Summary:

Pediatric irritability, defined as increased proneness to anger relative to peers, is among the most common reasons for mental health referrals.

'Irritability in Pediatric Psychopathology' offers a comprehensive overview of this work, approaching the topic from multiple perspectives and disciplines including child psychiatry, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, and neuroscience.
