Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern towards mood symptoms.

It can be explained by neurochemical imbalance mainly Dopamine, Serotonin.

These can be treated by mood stabilizers like Sodium Valproate.

Please consult your doctor regarding this.
