Mood swings are intense and abrupt shifts in one's emotional state. They involve cycling rapidly between feelings like anxiety, sadness, irritability and excitability. Mood swings are common for those with mental health conditions like bipolar disorder, but can happen to anyone.
Signs of mood swings may include:
- Feeling very happy and energetic, followed by intense sadness, anger, or irritability
- Drastic shifts in behaviors and activities level
- Difficulty carrying out day-to-day tasks
- Excessive eating, sleeping or sex drive followed by loss of appetite and energy
Causes
Mood swings can happen for many reasons like:
- Hormonal imbalances - especially drops or fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, cortisol or testosterone
- Depression or bipolar disorder
- High stress
- Hypersomnia
- Personality disorders
- Drug/alcohol withdrawal or side effects
Hormone fluctuations are a very common cause of mood swings. At
New Beginnings HRT Clinic, we specialize in natural
hormone balancing and regulation. Our physicians are experts at analyzing your
hormone levels and pinpointing the imbalances leading to mood issues like
anxiety, irritability and emotional sensitivity. We provide customized
treatment plans that can include:
- Bioidentical hormone therapy: Restoring optimal hormone levels with non-synthetic estrogen, progesterone or testosterone to stabilize mood.
- IV nutrient therapy: Delivering mood-lifting vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into the bloodstream
- Gut health support: Repairing intestinal barrier integrity to reduce inflammation driving mood issues. This may include dietary changes, probiotic supplements, or testing for conditions like SIBO or leaky gut syndrome.
With an integrative functional medicine approach, we identify and address the
root causes rather than just masking symptoms with antidepressants.
