Question: Do i have a mood disorder ??? if so what is it ??? and what should i do?
Hi im 16 and my moods are always up and down they can change just like in a moment .
i get angry over silly things and i also cry easy over sill things.
When i feel down i feel like i cant do anything i feel like i just might as well give up.
When im happy people are Always telling me to calm down and talk slower and stuff like that. Also in the past i have cut myself but people don't really know about that
My mum never listens to me she always ignores me so i turn to friends at school and some of them thinks i have a mood disorder and need to see a councilor but i don't want my mum to find out is there a way that i can get consoling and find out whats wrong with m without my mum finding out also do u think that i have a mood disorder ?? if so what is it ?? please help

the same thing happens to me, for example ill be really depressed one day then next ill be all happy and joyful and some days ill have a straight face. the thing is that its really noticable so i get alot of comments on it. i do think im depressed as im taking prozac and seroquel for sleeping but who knows. and im the same age and im a guy



you sound like any normal teenage female.

however some people learn how to cope better than others, as u get older u will understand ur moods more.

you can get antidepressants from the doctor, but they are not magic, and do have side effects at the begining and can take time to work, and different people find different anti depressants to suit them, in other words different people suit different medications.

just remember get enough sleep, coz lack of sleep causes a lot of mood swings, get a good nights sleep and ur mental health will improve, eat proper food. and thats a problem solver in its self
