Lability: Shifting rapidly from one emotion to another is called emotional lability or "mood swings." there are many possible explanations. These include use of drugs or alcohol, which destabilize and disinhibit emotions. Sleep deprivation and other stress can do this too. Also certain disorders such as pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder, hypomania, mania, some personality disorders, and some psychoses.
