Hello,

This rapid change can be related to cyclothymia. You can talk to your psychiatrist about the diary of mood changes and he will talk to you in person about your issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
