Mood Swings Treatment
We all go through different moods in response to daily events, and sometimes, these feelings can be very strong. For some people, these mood changes can be so extreme that it affects their overall quality of life.
Feeling a range of emotions is usually a normal reaction to what happens around us. While people may not always recognize their mood or find the right words to express it, it's uncommon to feel completely emotionless. Your mood can change based on your situation, and in turn, your mood can affect your thoughts and actions.
Living with severe mood swings can be challenging for both you and those close to you. At PROMIS , we can help you understand if your mood swings are linked to a more serious mental health issue. We provide various therapies to tackle the root causes of mood swings and assist you in managing them better.
Mood swings are quick changes in how a person feels, shifting from happiness to sadness or fear. While they can be normal, they might signal a health issue if they happen too often and disrupt daily activities. Certain events can trigger these mood swings, but they can also happen for no clear reason.
Mood swings can be signs of mental health disorders like bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder, as well as medical issues such as dementia, neurological disorders, and brain tumours. In addition, side effects from medications and hormonal changes can also lead to mood swings.
Each day, we experience different emotions that can affect how we feel overall. Many biological, psychological, and environmental factors can lead to changes in our mood, which include:

How We Treat at PROMIS
Managing mood swings requires a combination of methods, such as medical care and therapy. Each approach is important for balancing emotions and improving overall health.
Psychological therapies play an important role in managing the psychological root cause of mood swings. These talk therapies provide tools and techniques to help individuals better understand and control their emotional reactions. One of the most effective therapies for mood swings is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) .
CBT helps people with mood swings by linking their thoughts, feelings, and actions. This therapy aims to change negative thinking patterns into more positive and realistic ones, which can help reduce the occurrence and severity of mood swings.
DBT combines CBT techniques with mindfulness, social skills training, and emotion-focused strategies. It helps individuals gain insight into their emotional challenges. In addition, DBT teaches skills for managing distress and regulating emotions, which can enhance overall mood.
