Managing Mood Swings
Rapid changes in emotional states occur as a reaction to different stimuli such as personal circumstances and environmental factors. These mood swings can be a result of a physical or mental health condition, or for no reason at all.
Moodiness is considered normal in most individuals, but in some circumstances; it can be so severe that the quality of life of the person and their family is affected.
Mood Swings and Rapid Mood Shifts
When rapid mood swings and mood shifts occur for no reason, or it affects the behaviour, relationships and well-being of the individual, the help of a professional psychologist or psychiatrist may be helpful.
What are the major causes of mood swings?
The exact cause of mood swings is not well-known. However, it is believed that a person’s mood might be affected by the chemical reactions and imbalances in the brain. Mood can also be highly affected by lack of sleep, medications and other lifestyle factors. Any shifts in these may affect the stability of a person’s mood.
Individuals facing major life changes and other difficulties may experience changes in mood. Issues regarding identity, acceptance, and self-image may also contribute to emotional changes.
A person who is under a significant amount of stress might also have a greater chance of experiencing mood swings. When a person experiences high levels of stress, even a small negative occurrence might lead to abrupt shifts in mood.
