Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Moodiness.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long has there been a problem with moodiness? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- If female, does the moodiness vary with the menstrual cycle? - may suggest premenstrual tension where mood changes begin from 2 to 14 days before menstruation and are relieved immediately when menstrual flow begins.
- Can you think of any reason why you have a problem with moodiness? - e.g. severe loss, such as the death of a loved one, marital separation or financial loss. Note that moodiness and depression may develop for no apparent reason.
- Do you feel that you are coping well?
- Has anything changed in your life?
