Mood Disorder Symptoms

Mood Swings

Mood swings with unusual lows and highs are another possible sign of mood disorder. It is typically characterized by changing cycles of depression or lows and mania or highs. Just think about any periods that you feel overconfident, energetic, or like you do not have to sleep. During those times, the thoughts would be out of control, leading to many risky behaviors. When highs subside, the symptoms of anxiety and depression will come, such as excessive fatigue or hopelessness. Depending on your condition, the periods might last from 1 to 2 weeks or cycle more quickly for hours or days. [2]
