What Causes Mood Swings From Being Friendly To Getting Angry And Irritable?
I have a male friend of 23 who had an obesity and bed wetting problem as a teenager who lost the weight through bulimia and has now been a thin man for quite some years. He now has an unpredicable serious of moods swings and is prone to saying dark sinister things and being friendly one minute and angry and irritable the next. Do these characteristics fall into the catogory of a mood or personality disorder?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
The way, you have explained the symptoms, it looks like that he has bipolar affective disorder. In that case, he needs some mood stabilizer that would help to control his symptoms. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper mental assessment for proper diagnosis. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
