<human>: i am 49 years old and have started having bad mood swings. i have always been happy go lucky, laughing never stressing. now i am ready to bite anyones head off for no reason and find myself getting depressed for no reason. then the next day or two i am fine. then after a couple of days i am back to biting heads off. lucky ia can usually bite my lip and walk off before i hurt anyone feeling. but i was never like this before. any idea.
<bot>: Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. From the description that you have stated it appears that you are suffering from a mood disorder like cyclothymic or dysthymia. Sometimes it can also be a personality disorder. For the problems such as these, you need to consult a psychiatrist who can evaluate you in detail and discuss with you the treatment options - both psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Hope I am able to solve your concerns. Wish you good health
