[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, suggest that she get a full workup to rule out anemia, vitamin deficiencies, etc.  Second, figure out whether she needs more sleep.  Third, ask her to find a therapist--CBT or something similar could be very helpful in terms of figuring out what triggers this and how to stop.  [/quote]

Could be a thyroid issue, too. [/quote]

Aren't these all excuses for bad behaviour?[/quote]

I think you need to differentiate between an "excuse" (Oh, sorry, I was abused as a child and that makes me snap at everyone) and an underlying cause (low thyroid, which if controlled can make a huge change in someone's behavior, outlook, and demeanor -- almost a different person).  Yes, everyone is responsible for how they act, but a physical cause -- a brain tumor, a metabolic deficiency, a syndrome, can cause behavior that literally cannot be controlled.  Totally different from running around blaming your disadvantaged childhood.[/quote]
