Abstract
We read with great interest the article by Srinivasan et al.,1 and we are heartened to see a renewed focus on irritability as an important phenomenon that necessitates better understanding. In particular, the hypothesis that irritability in childhood may signal the development of psychiatric problems later in life is a persuasive concept that aligns with our thinking.
