WHAT MAKES YOUR CHILD IRRITABLE
It is important not to overlook the impact that the parents’ moods have on a
child – it is not unusual for children with mood problems to have parents who
also struggle with their mood.
There is also the genetic component. You may have a grandparent who had
been diagnosed with anxiety, an uncle with depression, or you yourself
struggled with a mood disorder your entire life.
If this is the case, it becomes even more important to consult with a mental
health professional to understand if your child may have a mood disorder that
makes him or her irritable.
When children are exposed to a parent who is angry, irritable, or depressed
most of the time, they learn to respond to these strong emotions.
