It could posibly be a mood disorder - something like Bi-polar disorder. Some people with this will have "quick" up's & down's - others the up's & down's will take longer to occur.
If it is that they are like this only certain times, perhaps it is a hormonal issue. Also, some people are "super sensitive" and get upset easily (there has been a study done on this - it is something you are born with) most people do grow out of it to some extent though.
The way you can help your friend is to ask what specifically was upsetting, tell them that you don't want them to be upset - ask if there is anything you can do to help, or ask if they just need a few minutes to be alone. Tell them you will be there for them and you want to understand what they are feeling.
Your concern shows you are a good friend.

They could be bipolar, but only a doctor can diagnose that.

Well there's a lot of things. even to an extreme level depression but i dont think its that bad. they probably are just agitated from stress about something else. if its really weird emotions, talk to her about it. something is probably upsetting her or stressing her out at home or somewhere else with somebody.

It could be Bipolar II disorder, but as someone said above, only a psychiatrist or trained mental health clinician can make a diagnosis. It could also be a variety of other conditions, medical or psychiatric, or just a slump the person is going through related to personal circumstances they haven't made others aware of.

I would recommend that you let the person know that you are concerned, but in a non-confrontational manner, and using the word "I" a lot--"I feel like you seem more sad and angry than usual lately, is everything okay?" Using "I" instead of just saying "you _________" allows the person to focus on your feelings about the situation without feeling that you're accusing/attacking them of anything. Good luck!

Why does everybody think that any kind of detour from 'normal behaviour' amounts to a pyschological disorder. This guy could just be an attention seeker or scoping out how vunerable you are to assert his manipulative behaviour on you. believe me...some guys are all about controlling women and they will do it any way they can.
