	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Tue 17, Jun 2008 08:05am: Hi, 'A mood swing is an extreme or rapid change in mood. They are commonly associated with mood disorders, of which the classic example is bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) and also a major factor in hyperactive or hyperactive/inattentive ADHD. http://www.sign.ac.uk/about/press/pr30-5-05.html Other causes of mood swings are due to hormonal changes that can temporarily upset brain chemistry, such as during PMS, pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause or puberty. As the hormones involved normalize, these mood swings generally subside on their own.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mood_swing It would be a good idea to review with your psychiatrist to find out the cause of your symptoms. Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other complaints. Regards.
