Suggest Treatment For Anger And Anxiety

Hi, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder 21 years ago. Only in about the last 4-5 years have I felt somewhat normal, until recently that is. About the last 6 months I've had a whole new set of symptoms. I am very easily irritated and when I do get irritated I get very mean, angry, upset, tearful and i just want to scream at everybody. At work I just want to be left alone to do my work and if I get any interruption from another employee I EXPLODE! I don't know what this is and I don't know how to control it and I don't know what to do. Can you please give me some idea as to what might be causing all this? Thank you, Mary Jo

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi Mary Jo,
It seems that for last 6 months, your depression have re-emerged. The symptoms that you have listed might be because of your feeling low which can easily make one more irritable. Wanting to be left alone and being tearful are also suggestive of depression. You haven't mentioned whether you are on any medication or not or if you had any treatment earlier. As a psychiatrist, i would advise you to consult a psychiatrist immediately either to review your current treatment or start you on treatment.
Best wishes.
