Mood Variability

Mood variability refers to the fluctuations in a person's emotional state over time. It describes how much and how often emotions like happiness, sadness, irritability, or anxiety change throughout the day or over days. Some people experience stable moods, while others may notice their feelings shift more frequently and intensely. Recognizing mood variability can help understand emotional health, as excessive or unpredictable mood changes might be linked to mental health conditions like mood disorders. It's a normal part of human experience, but when it becomes extreme or disruptive, it may warrant attention and support.
