Would History Of ADHD Cause Mood Swings?

This question is acctually for my boyfriend. He tends to have mood swings, particularly after being out in the sun for long periods of time. These mood swings tend to leave him feeling helpless and like he doesn t diserve anything. Most of the time it passes in about an hour. Sometimes we can get it to pass faster with him eating a little something. I want to help, but I m not even sure what to recomend he might have. I don t know if he has a family history of mood disorders. He does have a family history of diabetes and leg problems. He also has ADHD. What do you think it might be?
