I totally agree. There are many more reasons for causes than what was listed, many of them requiring lifestyle changes rather than or in addition to the medication-oriented reasons.Jeeemeff (talk) 03:07, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I

I think there should be more information - no?

THP

I just saw something on the news about mood swings being caused by a hormone caused THP. So I was thinking that someone should do some research on this and then maybe add this in. 64.131.6.136 22:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

is mood swings bad to have

Only in extreme cases

SAD

The SAD swing link under "See Also" leads to the disambiguation page for SAD. It was probably meant to lead to a specific one (seasonal/schizo/sexual) ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.92.252.18 (talk) 03:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rubbish

As with most psychology articles.. this takes a very pathological POV. --The.Filsouf (talk) 00:56, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Menopause or Psychiatric Disorder??

Relationship between menopause -- clinical psychiatric disorders or other causes of mood swings is not dealt with in this article. I'm concerned that as a layperson, it is possible to come to Wikipedia with an issue concerning a female family member and to find that mood swings may be typical lifecycle features of the female adult or may be typical of a serious personality disorder. While serious mood swings could be an issue in their own right, I think that somewhere in the articles about personality disorders there should be some recognition that mood swings, particularly in female adults, may not indicate that the sufferer has a personality disorder. Rather, the individual may be going through a life phase. I would appreciate guidance on differentiating between a mood swing episode that is purely hormonal and transitory versus mood swings that indicate more serious problems such as personality disorders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riskanhope (talk • contribs) 02:22, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PMS

Why exactly is this tagged with ^{[citation needed]}? Is somebody questioning whether PMS is a classic example of a mood swing, or whether it causes mood swings at all, or whether it occurs in women, or what? Those all seem trivially obvious and uncontroversial. Perhaps the distinction between having one's brain chemistry directly altered and just being pissed off about cramps is the nature of the quibble? Somebody should explain.

This article can be improved by including the definition. Adding more causes of mood swings besides ADHD like night terrors or the enviornment or circumstances youre usually around. Other causes of mood swings that are related to brain disorders. Other factors that can cause mood swings are employment, relationship and financial problems. --Dmikulus25 (talk) 23:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
