Mood Swings are when you change your moods. For example when a person is having fun and then there mood swings from happy to sad or mad then that person is going through a mood swing. A mood swing is a problem in the brain that makes the person who has it change moods without cause. Most people have mood swings everyday if they are depressed or they are depressed.
