Whilst everyone experiences mood swings to a certain degree, extreme mood swings can be characteristic of mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, and are a symptom of other mental illnesses including schizoaffective disorder and personality disorders.

If you are worried about how serious your mood swings are, please make an appointment to see your GP.
