Mood swings

Mood swings involve rapid and often extreme fluctuations in a person’s emotional state. Individuals may feel euphoric, irritable, sad, or angry within a short period, shifting from one mood to another unpredictably. Several factors can trigger mood swings, including hormonal changes, stress, mental health disorders like bipolar disorder, or substance use, including anabolic steroids. These drastic mood changes can affect one’s ability to function in daily life and strain personal relationships, making it essential to address the underlying causes for better emotional stability.
