How Can Severe Mood Swings Be Managed?

I have always been a hyper person. I talk extremely fast most days. I take on huge projects and will kill myself and finish them in record time.I suffer with bad mood swings of irritability and rage at least several times a month maybe more some times especially right before my period. I was diagnosed bipolar by a doctor, but don t have depression or reckless behavior so another doctor undiagnosed me because the meds didn t help and said I was just naturally hyper. I thought maybe it could be hormonal . All I know is I am so sick of going through it and my 11 year relationship to a good man is about to end over this if I can t fix the mood swings. He knows I can t help it and something is wrong, but its been wrong at least since age 22 , maybe even as a kid. I first saw a doctor about this around 2003 or so and nothing has ever gotten better only worse. had several doctors and several meds. I need serious help figuring it out fast or I will lose the man I love. oH I am 45 now. Does anyone have advice

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

From the available description it appears that you are most likely dealing with cyclothymia a mild form of bipolar disorder. There disorder have serious implications on human life and behaviour but unfortunately treatment options are very limited. The available treatment options help to some extent but the psychotherapies help to a great extent.


In my opinion you need to see a psychotherapist in your city as soon as possible.

Hope I have answered your query.
