Asked by Female, 25 · 1 month ago
Pain, infection, adverse drug reactions, low or high blood sugar, or a mental health problem can all cause sudden hostility. Prioritize safety and steer clear of conflict, then quickly look for any medical issues. For appropriate evaluation and therapy, see a physician or psychiatrist as soon as possible.
