How Can Mood Fluctuations With Behavioral Issues Be Treated?
I am very much concerned about my behavior. My mood fluctuates within fraction of seconds and I am not able to control it. I find it very difficult to concentrate on my job, and I fear that this behavior is going to do more harm than good to my work life. I had this problem earlier also, but now I feel that something has to be done, or its going to impact me very badly. I am also a kind of person who doesn't want others to know what I feel. I feel like no one actually knows who I am and what I feel. I have never shared any of my personal problems or feelings with anyone (except for some gossips). I really feel that this has to change. Please advice me as to what I have got to do. Thank you.

Hello,
I can understand what you must be going through. Mood fluctuations are a normal phenomena and everyone of us experience it frequently, however if this is occurring regularly and since a long time ( 15 days or more), is affecting your daily life, social life, occupational life, then, you should consult a psychiatrist.
It is not very clear from your question that are you depressed or your mood is fluctuating from high to low or low to high in a cycle. Both the condition can be treated by medicines.
You can try an online quiz to find whether or not you are suffering from a mood disorder. If you get a significant score, than you should consult a psychiatrist for proper management.
I am giving the link to that online screening quiz below.
