What Causes Irrational Mood Swings in Teenagers?
Determining normal teenage behavior is often a daunting parental task because teenagers deal with rapid developmental changes causing mood swings, odd behavior and emotional confusion. The teenage years are a time of turmoil and stress for some. Puberty and hormonal changes are primary contributors to adolescent angst, according to the Children Youth and Women’s Health Service. Parental intervention and understanding is often required to manage the changes teens experience without causing too much damage. It is important to recognize that in addition to biological causes, external factors also play a role in this process.
