But he is still a puzzle for me. There are days when he will talk a lot but then suddenly he will start avoiding us (friends) for no reason. Though we have accepted him the way he is, it does get difficult sometimes,' explains Aamit, Sharma's friend.

'It's not just us but his mother too faces similar problems while dealing with him,' he added.

Explaining this, Parikh says an individual can respond to a stressful situation in a variety of ways and this could be his way of dealing with stress.

While it is often said that women indulge in shopping, bingeing or sleeping when they experience mood swings, the same doesn't hold true for men.

'Men may get into things like drinking (alcohol), increased smoking, increased irritability, display of aggression (verbal/physical), rash driving or withdrawing from everyone, becoming quiet, keeping to themselves and reduced libido,' maintained Chugh.

To overcome these mood swings, Parikh advises that people maintain a balance in life.

'It is essential to try and maintain a balance in one's life. Situations happen that one may not be too happy about, but it becomes absolutely essential in such situations to be able to detach oneself and take an objective view of the situation,' explains Parikh.

'At the same time, sometimes it is a good idea to discuss the situation and get someone else's opinion or to simply vent what one is experiencing,' he added.

Adding to this, Chugh said, if the condition becomes worse then one should consult a psychiatrist.

'The mood swings need to be dealt with depending upon the reasons that have caused them. If there is a lot of distress due to them, it's a good idea to consult a psychiatrist about it,' Chugh said.

'If there is a chemical imbalance, one might need to take medicines. Psychotherapy or counselling is also of great help,' he added.
