Hi.You are very much aware that the cause of your irritation is overwork.I suggest you reduce your work or take a job change and try to devote sufficient time to spend with your family which actually is taking care of you in a good way.Learn to cultivate interest in your work, school and the time which you spend with your family.This is not at all depression.But prolonged exacerbation might result in depression.In anticipation you may also practice some stress relaxation techniques like yoga, pranayama etc which will keep you calm and focussed. Hope this helps.Take care.
