Mood swings, fatigue

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I keep having extreme mood swings from day to day, sometimes only a few hours. I feel a lump in my throat often and just want to cry even if nothing is bothering me. It has been happening for a long time and by now it is clear that something physical is causing this. I get extremely emotional when I'm hungry (way beyond normal "hangriness") and can't focus on anything until I eat. I have iron and b12 deficiencies and I try to regulate them with my diet & vitamins, but I wonder if that could be a symptom of a greater problem like something hormonal. There is a history of hypothyroidism in my family but I have never been tested

What you describe seem to be signs of depression. Depression does not always have obvious external triggers as it may start for some people out of the blue. Hypothyroidism can also cause Depressive symptoms and you should consult a psychiatrist & get tested for that too.

Next Steps

Consult a psychiatrist.
