Mood Swings

We all have days when we are happy where everything looks good and then there are days when we feel sad & cry for reasons. These changes in mood are considered to be normal unless they are making an impact on daily functioning.

Rapid changes in mood are defined as mood swings where an individual finds difficulty in managing their emotions. The journey of working with mood swings begins with an understanding of the signs as the first step to regaining stability.

Symptoms of mood swings:
 
  • Persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness
