A member asked:

I've been having nightmares every night and waking up in an awful mood that makes me stay in a bad mood all day... does this mean anything?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Nightmares can have physical or psychological causes or even come from medication side effects. Stress or depression can cause nightmares. If they persist, talk to your doctor and, if appropriate, ask for a referral to a mental health professional for guidance. Hope this helps.
