Dealing with Mood Swings
Start here: does this sound familiar?
Mood swings are one of the most common, and most confusing, experiences young people have. They can feel random, embarrassing, or even frightening, yet they’re rarely meaningless, and understanding what drives them is the first step to getting on top of them.
This course pairs with the NLSA podcast above, so you can listen first and read along, or work through the course and use the podcast to bring it all together. Either way, you’ll come out with a clearer picture of your own emotional patterns and a practical toolkit to manage them.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
- Describe what a mood swing is and how it differs from normal emotional change.
- Identify the key signs and symptoms of significant mood swings in yourself and others.
- Explain the links between mood swings, mental health conditions and lifestyle factors.
- Recognise the personal triggers that contribute to your own mood shifts.
- Apply at least three practical coping strategies to manage mood swings day to day.
How to use this course
Each section ends with a short quiz, and it’s worth taking the time on these rather than skipping them, because they’re not only there for your certificate, they genuinely help the learning stick. If you’re unsure of an answer, that’s fine, since the reasoning is shown after each question, so you always leave knowing more than when you started.
