A member asked:

Is it normal to feel many different emotions (happy, sad, lonely, confident, excited, irritated, angry, joy) in the course of minutes/hours everyday?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Possibly: It really depends on the intensity of the emotions, the context and if this is a consistent issue. Marked lability that occurs consistently is not normal.
