Abstract
Several types of emotional and mood swings in children and adolescents, including disruptive, depression, anxiety,
and pervasive developmental (autism) mood swings, are defined as either internalizing or externalizing difficulties.
Temper tantrums, attention deficit,hyperactivity disorder, oppositional, defiant or conduct mood swings are the most
prevalent mood swing difficulties in preschool and elementary school children. The typical Pediatrics clinic or
Family Medicine/General Practitioner surgery has numerous desired features that make it excellent for offering
successful mental health treatments to children and adolescents.The DSM-5 and ICD-10 are the internationally
recognized standards for categorizing mental and behavioral mood swings in children and adults. The prevalence
assessment of various childhood mood swings by age and gender is diverse and difficult to compare globally.
Objective:- This paper presents clinical data from a prospective epidemiological study that indicated the
combination of childhood "soft" indicators and anxious behavior to be a substantial risk factor for adolescent
emotional mood swings in the form of case vignettes. The original study used a neuropsychiatric evaluation of
teenagers who had been tracked since childhood.
Results:-Over time, the at-risk participants demonstrate a consistent and particular pattern of motor impairments as
well as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, or depressed symptoms.
Discussion:- Their neurological and psychiatric abnormalities are in line with neuropsychiatric research that links
motor system anomalies to emotional mood swings. Early childhood indications of emotional instability and mood
swings have been discussed.
