Mood Swings -- Nervous System
Mood swings are a rapid or extreme change in one’s mood and they
are typically viewed as a negative thing. Sometimes, the
mood swings are caused by an underlying factor such as bipolar disorder, hormonal changes, or manic depression. Mood swings can be unnoticeable to extreme and
depressive. While the major mood swings range from mild to moderate due to
everyday ups and downs. The duration between mood changes can also vary like
they can last between a few hours, known as ultra-rapid, to days,
known as ultradian. The change between ultra-depression
to euphoria and happiness is the major causes of extreme mood changing.
Sings and symptoms of mood
swings:
§ Switching between happy and sad within a short
amount of time due to no reason
§ Unexpected loss of interest in activities that were
once delightful in the past
§ Agitation
§ Feeling easily disturbed or prickly
§ Long periods of elation, feeling happy
§ Disproportionate energy
§ Prickly and risky behavior
Mood swings has a strong connection with the nervous system. When the mood changes aren’t
due to a condition such as bipolar disorder, they can be due to a disorder that
interferes with the functioning of the nervous system. For example, autism, epilepsy, and ADHD. Autistic
fits are due to changes in neurochemistry and the interaction difficulties one
faces when autistic. Epileptic seizures change the brain’s electrical wiring
and because of it, changes in mood can happen. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) is known to be accompanied with short-lived and lead to the
mood changes which can be seen as being forgetful, negligence, and recklessness.
Other diseases like multiple
sclerosis, Alzheimer’s
disease, Parkinson’s
disease, celiac disease, and Huntington’s disease also affect the nervous system
very badly but in different manners as compared to the diseases mentioned above.
