Symptoms Of PANDAS

Frequent Mood Changes

Mood changes are entirely normal, which is why it's important for parents to avoid thinking their child is suffering from PANDAS because of a single sudden mood change. However, it's when these mood changes are frequent and without explanation that it's possible. These frequent mood changes will oftentimes display themselves as irritability and moodiness alongside laughing or crying in situations where it's inappropriate to do so. If the affected individual regularly switches from being extremely sad to very happy, it's likely there's an underlying cause. The changes can also occur from minute to minute, which is a clear sign something is wrong. A few examples of frequent mood changes include wanting to suddenly harm themselves, being so excited that they find themselves unable to control their urges, and not being able to go to school or get out of bed because of the mood changes.
