Answered by Dr. Chakravarthy Mazumdar (22 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Need few more details

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your age?
Did the mood changes started recently?
For how many days the symptoms last?
Any other stress in the family?
Recent pregnancy?

Also mood changes like anger/depression/crying/irritation are common for one or two days before or during menstruation for few though not for everyone. For this i would suggest you to practice meditation/yoga.

Kindly respond with answers.
Thanks,
Dr. Saisudha Kotla
