Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries I can understand your concern. The symptoms like persistent mood swings, irritation, lack of confidence, scolding kids repeatedly, poor social interaction, feelings of being judged etc can occur due to some mood disorder especially depression. In depressive disorder a lot of individuals present with similar symptoms. I d advise you to not to ignore these symptoms and if possible visit a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment. For depressive symptoms medicines like SSRIs are commonly used. Sertraline, Paroxetine, Fluoxetine etc are used commonly. These medicines if used regularly help to reduce the symptoms and will improve your confidence. Please consult a psychiatrist for evaluation and prescription of these drugs. Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care Dr. Seikhoo Bishnoi, Psychiatrist
