Mood Dysregulation

Meaning

Mood dysregulation is a clinical presentation characterized by a chronic and pervasive difficulty in appropriately modulating the intensity and duration of emotional responses, resulting in emotional states that are disproportionate to the external stimulus. This condition often manifests as emotional lability, increased irritability, or chronic affective instability. In the context of endocrinology, it is frequently associated with fluctuations or deficiencies in key neuroactive hormones.
