A member asked:

Why do i have constant mood swings and what can i do to help myself to be happier?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Evaluation: Mood swings can be caused by a variety of things. You need to see your doctor to rule any possilbe medical causes such as hormone irregularities (perimenopause? Thyroid disorder?) some medications can also affect your mood. If all medical reasons have been ruled out, then you may need to see a mental health proffessional to appropriately diagnose and treat your symptoms.
