Hi, every person has mood changes and it is quite normal. Unfortunately some of us have too big amplitudes in their mood so it has to be corrected with medications. Mood stabilizers are medications which are modulating it. It suppress swings between mania and depression. Lithium is the oldest medication of this type.
