Generally, Mood changes quickly can be related to:
- Alcohol Dependence / Delirium Tremens
A condition in which the patient depends on alcohol and experiences withdrawal symptoms if they don't have a drink. These symptoms can range from mild (e.g., irritation, sleeplessness) to severe (confusion, coma, seizures).
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) disease in which the immune system attacks parts of the brain and spinal cord. The direct cause of MS remains unknown, but certain risk factors have been identified such as low vitamin D levels, tobacco smoking, exposure to UV radiation, childhood obesity, and infection with the virus that causes mononucleosis. The disease tends to affect young people more commonly as well as people living in higher latitudes. MS typically occurs in "attacks" which can include but are not limited to painful eye movements, blurry vision in one eye, numbness or weakness in hands or feet on one side, or double vision.
- Chronic Pain
Pain that is ongoing and typically lasts longer than six months. This kind of pain can persist even after the injury or illness causing it has healed or disappeared. It interferes with daily life and can lead to depression and anxiety.
- Acute Porphyria
Related Serious Diseases
Sometimes, Mood changes quickly may be related to these serious diseases:
- Sepsis
Sepsis occurs when the immune system has an extreme response to an infection, damaging healthy tissues and organs and leading to poor organ function. It can worsen to septic shock, a severe form of sepsis that is life-threatening.
- Meningitis
- Intussusception
- Encephalitis / Encephalopathy
- Brain Tumor
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State (HHS)
