Everytime I have a mood swing, I've always noticed ice cream will immediately improve my mood. Why is this?

Maybe, it is just the feeling of a sugar rush.
This improves my mood too!

Maybe, because, it is the perfect snack to make you feel better?
I don't know, lol.

Maybe because of the sugar rush...
I can't be sure. Or maybe because you really like ice cream.
It's a little strange, because ice cream is supposed to have the opposite effect of calming you down.
Ah well.. I guess some people react differently to things.

sugar increases your energy level
and
serotonin is simultaneously released during metabolism of sugars, stabilizing you mood
other factors may be at work, including your past experience of turning to ice cream as a way of comforting yourself. in time, your body may have learned to adjust in such a way that make you happy when you get ice cream.
Did you have a particularly happy childhood or something? Maybe ice cream is a reminder of that.

Reason 1 :
This is a state of mind which is linked to the childhood stress free states and child hood interests in taste. It is observed that people under stress would prefer to take icecreams, biscuits or chocolates etc. It could be because, our minds try to remember the state during our child hood when we are care free and stress free and by eating our childhood days interested foods, our minds try to unknowingly recollect those days ... as a process of relieving from stress.
Reason 2 :
As per the body conditions, some people loose some key chemicals during tension and they feel of temporarily gaining them through certain foods. If our body is tuned to depend on fast foods and artificial foods then it will continue, although difficult initially if we try to tune our body for natural foods or salads, then it gives very good results.

I think its because it takes you back to your childhood. When life was worry-free and we were mostly carefree. During the summer most of us would listen for that ice cream Jingle and we KNEW it was the ice cream truck and then finally..... that first taste of the sweet, soft, cold ice cream that all kids and adults love.mmmmmmmmm
