Managing Mood Swings
How Prescription Psychiatrists can help you with 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.
Contact us for advice and diagnosis of mood swings.
Mood swings can sometimes be managed with the following strategies:
Having a mood diary where you can track mood changes. This will help you understand your mood shifts and changes in your emotions.
Exercise helps the body produce endorphins. This hormone can help control stress and improve mood. Having an organised daily schedule can also alleviate stress, therefore preventing mood swings. Getting enough sleep can help in improving mood swings.
Note that sleep deprivation can affect energy levels, and also contributes to sadness, irritability, and general low mood. Eating a well-balanced diet can tremendously help in managing mood swings. If you feel that you are not eating well, speak to a local dietitian to help you plan your food intake. There are circumstances when the help of mental health professional is needed. If you feel that you are in need of this type of intervention, reach out to or call 028630654. You can also email us at clinic@prescriptionpsychiatrists.com.ph
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.
