Irritability in Pediatric Psychopathology

Irritability in Pediatric Psychopathology, 1st Edition, examines youth irritability across child psychiatry, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, and neuroscience. The volume defines pediatric irritability as an increased proneness to anger relative to peers, noting that it represents one of the most common reasons for mental health referrals.

Featuring contributions from international experts, the book surveys developmental trajectories from early childhood to young adulthood, evaluates neurobiological and genetic factors, and reviews diagnostic presentations across conditions such as mood, anxiety, and disruptive behavior disorders.

Published by Oxford University Press, the volume is designed as an informative resource for researchers, clinicians, and trainees who work with children and adolescents.
