Is Mood swing just physiological change or disorder?
However, when it comes to moods & hormones, is something of a chicken-and-egg situation: Do women with physiological changes get mood changes, or does mood swing an early transition? Do hormones trigger mood changes, or does a mood changes after the action of hormones??

The main cause of mood swing is turbulence or gradually decline of natural hormones, it has deep physiological roots insides when her body does not get the right kind of support to maintain natural balance.
It is not any disease condition but only changes or disturbance into mental as well as physical level. According to Kent is Mind-Body connection. So this disturbance leads her into unhealthy condition. It affects her personal or professional relationship. It is often regard as a disease as a opposed to natural process & over the years it has become increasingly medicalised. So it is not consider as disorder but as a dis-ease condition.
