Homeopathic Medicine for Mood Swing: In this article we will discuss a case of mood swings and how this problem was solved with homeopathic medicine.

This is a scenario involving a 22-year-old woman who experienced mood swings before her menstrual cycle.

When inquired about her condition, she expressed, “I feel like crying, and my spirits are low. I experience significant tearfulness two days before my menstrual cycle.”

I experience improvement post my menstrual cycle, and I rely on my mother’s support. My decision-making is driven more by emotions than intellect.

I easily accept things and find it challenging to express my opinions on anything.

I have been experiencing daily headaches since my school days. Whenever I exert myself or expose myself to the sun, I develop headaches. Rest and sleep help alleviate the headaches.

I struggle to balance relationships with both friends and family members, often feeling like I am constantly adapting to everything around me. Additionally, I notice a rapid increase in my weight, and even a slight dietary excess results in weight gain.

Expressing my thoughts to someone brings me a sense of relief. I enjoy stepping out of the house and engaging in activities on my own.

I have a metal allergy, and even the touch of a safety pin is unbearable for me. I long for genuine connections in relationships.

Examining the physical symptoms: Two days before menstruation, there is a inclination to cry, experiencing pain in the legs and back. Exhibits excessive thirst, consuming 2-3 liters of water per day, and has a preference for cold water. Craves hot food, sweets, cheese, and salt.
Sweating – normal, skin – dryness –

Now let us understand the symptoms:-

I noticed that throughout the case, the patient discusses relationship issues with her mother, emotional challenges, and the tendency to be easily influenced by others. Additionally, she faces difficulty expressing her own opinions.

Desires companionship and experiences a fear of separation from her mother. Based on these observations, I administered a dose of Placenta 1M.

Approximately two months later, a report indicated a significant improvement in the patient’s emotional state compared to before. She mentions that she seldom cries now and feels stronger than ever.

The dryness of the skin has shown improvement, and there has been a reduction in weight by 9 kg. Additionally, the patient has experienced an increase in confidence.

The key aspect to remember regarding Placenta is that the desire for connection is more potent than the fear of separation and the survival instinct post-separation.

This ailment develops in tandem with human advancement. While scientific research may have both positive and negative impacts on social life, this ailment is not novel. From birth, individuals are immersed in conflicts that span a wide spectrum. These struggles persist ceaselessly from inception to culmination, and it is within these conflicts that the genesis of this ailment takes root. In times past, when individuals afflicted by this ailment exhibited erratic behavior, people often attributed it to the wrath of deities or the influence of sorcery, deeming the patient as insane. However, in reality, they are not insane. Similar to other maladies, this is a condition for which treatment is available. Mood swings lack a precise definition, encapsulating two states: mania and depression. Mania marks the initial stage of the ailment, wherein the patient experiences a sensation of floating in the air. Thoughts flood the mind incessantly, with one thought seamlessly transitioning into the next. As the intensity of thoughts escalates, rapid speech ensues, devoid of any feelings of sadness or depression in the patient’s mind.

The symptoms of mania are divided into three parts:

• Mood swing
• Crowd of thoughts
• Psycho motor activity means the patient remains active.

At times, a manic patient may exhibit all three symptoms, while in other instances, one of them may predominate. Additionally, symptoms such as irritability, doubt, and confusion can also manifest in these cases.

During a manic episode, the patient often loses awareness of their surroundings and actions. The intensity of the patient’s condition fluctuates, with periods of onset and subsequent subsidence. Following a respite from the disease, the patient transitions into a depressive stage.

Depression is characterized by three main symptoms. In contrast to the constant flow of thoughts experienced in mania, depression brings difficulty in thinking, with a noticeable absence of thoughts. The patient in a depressive state remains entirely calm, and this condition lingers persistently. Activities like walking, roaming, or running are unappealing to the patient, who tends to remain silent and immobile.

Three types of delusions are prominent in depression patients.

Hypochondria is a condition where the patient becomes excessively anxious and concerned about their health.

Self-accusatory behavior is observed in this condition, where the patient views themselves as a wrongdoer. They perceive themselves as the source of all misfortunes and express sentiments such as guilt, insisting on punishment. The mentioned place is regarded as the only setting where they can receive retribution for their perceived crimes.

Persecutory tendencies manifest in this condition, where the patient develops suspicions about everyone. They may believe that a specific individual is constantly monitoring them, leading to persistent fears of harm or threats. Anxiety and irritability are prevalent in individuals experiencing these persecutory delusions.

In cases of severe depression, the patient may be confined to bed, relying on others for tasks such as changing clothes and feeding. They maintain a state of silence, with a predominant desire to ‘die’ lingering in their thoughts.

The countenance of a patient experiencing depression reflects sadness, with furrowed eyebrows, expressionless eyes, and an appearance that seems older than their actual age. Regardless of the type of depression, a prevalent fear of suicide persists in the patient. Consequently, once the symptoms of depression manifest, vigilance becomes essential. Although it is rare, there are instances where both mania and depression occur simultaneously, posing a serious condition for the patient. Typically, depression sets in after a bout of mania, although there is no steadfast rule for this occurrence.
