“Do antidepressants help with mood swings?”

Yes, especially for depression-related mood swings. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If you`re in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry.com, we`re here to help you.

Mood swings must be properly evaluated for diagnostic clarity. For example, if the underlying problem appears to be bipolar disorder, antidepressants may exacerbate the problem. Many individuals with major depression do, however, experience irritability and anger and these may benefit from an antidepressant, but the key is a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of the mood swings.

Yes, they do. Antidepressants work by balancing chemicals in your brain called neurotransmitters that affect mood and emotions. These depression medicines can help improve your mood, help you sleep better, and increase your appetite and concentration. However, I would suggest a combination of antidepressants and talking with a professional that you can trust to find ways to help deal with your mood swings as well. Medication is a quick fix, but finding ways to deal with them is the rectifier.
