Most psychiatrists call "mood swings" bipolar depression. I think shrinks don't live in the real world, they're guessing about the human psyche, it's just that they have the title M.D. after their names, and are as clueless as their patients (I note this from personal experience). Professionally, I explain to my patients that mood swings are kind of like a Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde episodes.........going from friendly and pleseant to a mean SOB.......Oh, and PMS is really an acronym for Punish My Spouse........

Emotions hanging on two chains or ropes from a tree, which usually starts moving when you have PMS
edit...
Simply_be_patient... (4th answerer) That's true, I had a boyfriend whose mood swings were worse than mine could ever be.
And if my answer sounds a bit lighthearted, it's not, it's the best way I could describe it in my own style. And that's exactly how it is, it's when our emotions start going back and forth, usually caused by hormonal imbalances which in return cause PMS or depression etc. Also, trauma can cause mood swings.

For Sunbeam...Men can have mood swings and they don't have PMS. Mood swings are generally psycological disorders whether mild or severe. Happy one minute and sad the next...Rapid mood swings are a form of depression/anxiety, those type disorders...

Much like a mood ring... the swing changes color depending on what mood you're in..... Blue is for happy....
Where do they sell those at anyway? I haven't been able to find one!

Mood swing..well the simplest description is when you go from happy to sad or happy to mad in no time, and sometimes it is not caused by anything.

when your disposition changes from likebeing sad to happy, or from being cool to irritated. this is most asociated with girls and women and its involved in our monthly period wherein one week before our period starts some have mood swings. i get to experience these mood swings intensely and extremely, but i'm trying to control them. =) some guys have these too, but it would be unusual because guys rarely have 'mood swings'. =)
