Mood & Fatigue Formula

Mood swings are extreme or rapid changes in mood. About 20% of the U.S. population reports at least one depressive symptom in a given month, and 12% report two or more in a year. Mood swings are sometimes caused by hormonal changes that can temporarily disturb brain chemistry. Other causes of mood swings are associated with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder (manic depression) or hyperactive/inattentive such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Research indicates that women experience mood swings twice as often as men. Most women experience mood swings as a result of pregnancy or post-partum. Mood swings are closely related to post partum depression.

Treating mood swings has an 80%-90% success rate for those who seek help; however, many people will not discuss mood swings with their doctors. As a result, over 60% of individuals who suffer from this potentially debilitating disorder remain untreated.

Common Causes

While it is difficult to pinpoint one specific cause of mood swings, researchers have proposed several options, including chemical imbalances and hormonal changes.

Chemical Imbalance
Most modern research indicates that mood disorder may be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. The experience of feelings such as happiness, stress, fear, depression or anxiety, occur when the brain releases chemicals called neurotransmitters. It is the release and re-absorption of these neurotransmitters that affect how a person feels. People who experience mood swings might have an imbalance of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepenephrine, GABA and dopamine. There are medicines and therapy techniques available that are designed to help establish a balance of the release, reuptake and absorption of these key neurotransmitters.

Hormonal Changes
Some women experience hormonal mood swings during or after pregnancy or with their menstrual cycles. Teenagers often experience mood swings after the introduction of sex hormones during puberty. Often, the mood swings are alleviated once the hormone levels have returned to normal.

Treatment

Talking to Your Doctor about Mood Swings
Communicating with your doctor is an important part in the diagnosis and treatment of mood swings. By talking to your doctor openly, you allow him or her to provide you with the best mood swings treatment program possible.

Non-prescriptive Alternative Remedies
There are many non-prescription alternatives on the market today. Some of these remedies contain supplemental vitamins and minerals, while others contain herbal alternatives that have been used to naturally medicate mood swings. Clinical evidence suggests that some herbal constituents can provide significant benefit in helping to relieve negative mood and other symptoms related to anxiety and depression.

Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapy helps you weaken the connections between troublesome situations and your habitual reactions to them. Reactions common to mood swings such as fear, anxiety, depression, anger, and self-damaging behavior can be controlled. Behavioral therapy teaches you how to calm your mind and body, so you can feel better, think more clearly, and make better decisions.

Literary Therapy
Literary therapy incorporates books, articles, and other research materials into the process of healing. By gathering information about mood swings, one can acquire in-depth knowledge about his or her problems. This knowledge provides the essential tools for controlling and resolving ones issues. There is an extensive amount of information available from a wide range of perspectives. Many books can be checked out from a local library, and most internet information is presented free of charge.

Talk Therapy
Talk therapy involves the idea of healing through communication. Talking to friends, family members, or a therapist can help one to find support for those dealing with mood swings. Communication comes naturally to humans, and the simple act of discussing one's problems can be extremely helpful in the healing process.
