Definition
Irritability suggests disturbed Liver regulation or heat, but by itself it is not specific enough.
Clinical Meaning
If paired with emotional constraint and distention, it leans toward Liver qi stagnation; with dizziness and scant coat, Liver Yang Rising; with bitter taste and constipation, Liver Fire.
Pitfall / Exam Tip
Irritability is not a complete answer. You still need the stem to tell you whether the pattern is stagnation, rising, or blazing fire.
