Agitated describes a state of feeling or appearing troubled, restless, or disturbed. It often manifests as heightened emotional responses, fidgeting, or difficulty focusing. This can be triggered by stress, anxiety, anger, or excitement. The degree of agitation can range from mild unease to extreme distress, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as a racing heart, rapid breathing, or tremors.
The core of the word reflects an emotional state marked by a loss of composure and an increased sense of inner turmoil.
