Have you ever thought about the causes of bad mood, quarrelsomeness and even bitterness?
If an aggressive reaction has become the norm of life, then it is worth considering what is behind it.
According to Dr. Helen Stokes-Lampard of the Royal College of Therapists, the cause of such a sharp manifestation of emotion can be a disease, or as a side effect of drugs.
So, here's a list of some diseases and medications that can lead to embittered states:
Hyperactivity of the thyroid gland
The thyroid gland secretes hormones responsible for the level of vital energy and mood. Also under the control of these hormones, body temperature and metabolism in the body increase. Especially the given disease is actual for women. Correct the situation will help drugs, such as carbimazole, which stops the excess production of hormones.
High cholesterol
This affects nearly seven million people in the UK. Many of them take statins (drugs that help keep cholesterol levels normal). However, each medal has two sides. The reverse side of the medal for these drugs is side effects. Taking statins disrupts the balance of chemicals in the body, including serotonin. Often uncontrollable anger is simply the effect of statins, so after refusing to take these medications a person acquires calmness and balance.
Diabetes
Low blood sugar can cause sudden outbursts of anger. Lowering the sugar level leads to an imbalance of chemicals, including serotonin. The result is aggression, anger, confusion. Receiving a sweet will improve the patient's well-being within 20 minutes. About the same effect is experienced by a hungry person. His aggressive state instantly evaporates as soon as he satisfies his hunger.

Depression
This condition is characterized not only by apathy and indifference to the whole surrounding world. Irritation and excitement are included in this list as well. In particular, the last two symptoms are pronounced in men, because they are less prone to feelings of hopelessness and melancholy than women. However, each person's behavior in a depressed state can be completely different. Depression can be treated with antidepressants and cognitive therapy.

Alzheimer's disease
Affects various parts of the brain, including the one that is responsible for human behavior. The state of nervousness and irritability can be observed in the patient a few years after the onset of the disease.

Diseases of the liver
The most common diseases of this body are cirrhosis and hepatitis. When the liver is damaged, toxins gradually accumulate in the blood, which affects the brain. This can lead to personality changes, gloomy behavior and outbursts of anger.
Epilepsy
Epileptic seizures are caused by a sudden explosion of electrical activity in the brain, which leads to temporary interruptions in the normal transmission of messages between brain cells.
PMS or what is being a woman?
It is assumed that the causes of premenstrual syndrome is a violation of the balance of hormones - estrogen and progesterone. This explains their irritable behavior and sharp mood swings.
Sleeping Pills
Lack of sleep can lead to serious health problems, and taking sedatives can affect mental health and only exacerbate the problem.
