Mood swings are sudden mood shifts that can be triggered by a range of causes, including food and PMS. Let's look at some of the reasons for mood swings.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Deficiencies of specific nutrients, such as B vitamins, iron, and magnesium, have been linked to depression and other mood disorders.

Chronic Stress

Chronic stress causes the body's cortisol levels to remain chronically high, resulting in an overall hormonal imbalance that can cause significant mood swings.

Medications

Several different types of medications might cause mood swings linked to depression. Antibiotics, statins, and other medications have been linked to mood swings in both men and women.

Low Blood Sugar

Due to low blood sugar or glucose, skipping meals or eating little might make you irritable, impatient, and moody..

Throat Pain

Anxiety can cause many physical symptoms, including a sore throat as the body produces cortisol in stress.

Both men and women experience mood swings as a result of these factors. If your symptoms persist for longer than usual, you should consult a doctor right away.
