Speak to your doctor: You should speak to your doctor, who can ask you some relevant questions and examine you and make that determination. They may also refer you to a psychiatrist for an evaluation.

See a psychiatrist: A psychiatrist will be able to help you find out if your moodiness in excessive or abnormal, and a gynecologist could help determine if you have a hormonal imbalance that is causing it.
