Mood Swings. Ask A Doctor For Help To Overcome This
I have frequent mood swings. I'll be happy and energetic and the next thing I know I'll be anxious and paranoid and depresses. I begin to think that my fiancé isn't attracted to me and would rather look and be with other women for no reason that I've come up with. When we fight I'll go from sad denial to a laughing hysteria and become consistently cruel then ill start getting upset and then happy again.
hi there, thanks for asking. The situation you described could be the result of many things. It could be related to your personality, needed to shape more solidly. It could also be related to you mood as you mentioned. In each way, you should be assessed by a psychiatrist. then he can decide which kind of treatment you need. It may be managed with medication or talk therapy. Fortunately, in each way it is treatable. I wish you a good health.
Frequent mood swings with episodic feelings of sadness, low mood, paranoid ideas and feeling of happiness are most likely due to some mood disorder. In depressive disorder individual may show low mood, suspiciousness on partner, pervasive sadness etc. If this is affecting your social and personal life I would advise you to visit a good Psychiatrist for evaluation. Medicines like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertaline etc are SSRI drugs and are very safe drugs. These drugs can control your symptoms and will boost your mood.
Proper Cognitive therapy by a good Psychologist will also help you to come out of these feelings and may even decrease the need of medicines.
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
From the description of your symptoms it is possible that you could be suffering from a personality disorder, such as a an emotionally unstable (borderline) personality disorder. Such kinds of mood swings, emotional lability, feelings of insecurity, paranoid ideas, identity problems, etc. are well known symptoms in such disorders.
I would suggest that you consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further management. Help is available in various forms - both medication and psychotherapy, to help you control your symptoms. So, please don't hesitate to seek help.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
