Whether it is in men or women, what
do you think provokes a person to
experience mood swings? Is it always
got to do with hormones or is it deeper?

Having said, the reason for one’s mood swings
cannot be focusing on hormones always. It has to
do with habits, health condition of a person, quality
of life, the impact of experiences and maybe the
personality of a person that causes mood swings.
The ever existing mood swings of women are known
but would you’d be surprised if you are told of the
same story about men going through mood swings.
Yes! It is true that even men go through mood swings
and it is not just said for the sake of it but this is the
truth as they are also human after all.
