Mood swings are sudden, unexpected shifts in emotion that can go from feeling positive and upbeat one moment to feeling sad, irritable, or angry the next. Most people experience minor mood swings from time to time. However, more severe or frequent mood swings may be a sign of an underlying condition like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder.

How are mood swings treated? Making positive lifestyle changes is the first line of defense in balancing mood. Getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, reducing stress, and avoiding problematic substances can help stabilize emotions. For some, speaking to a therapist or joining a support group is beneficial.
If lifestyle changes don't solve the issue, visiting a doctor is wise. They can check for underlying health problems and determine if prescription mood-stabilizing medication is needed in cases of diagnosable conditions like depression or bipolar disorder.
