Talk to Psychologist on Sudden Extreme Mood Swings
Asking for Husband, Male, 34 years old, RAWALPINDI
My husband has developed sudden mood swings and unpredictable behavior. He gets extremely angry without any clear reason, uses abusive language, sometimes threatens to hit and after a few hours acts as if nothing happened. On other days, he becomes overly loving and then again shifts to being cold and distant. For the past 1 week, he has been irritated with me without any reason. When I ask, he doesn’t respond — instead starts a fight. He prefers to stay isolated, avoids spending time with me and the kids, and chooses to sleep in another hot room without AC, saying “I’m comfortable here.” This behavior has become frequent and intense, and it's affecting my mental peace and our children’s emotional well-being. I want to understand what kind of mental health condition this could be ? Please guide me on what specialist to consult for proper diagnosis and help.

There hasn’t been any major job loss, financial pressure, or health issue. But yes, some time ago, there was a person who had too much involvement in our personal life. That led to frequent fights and emotional tension between us. That person is no longer in our life, but I feel the aftereffects are still there

Based on the details you’ve shared, my working hypothesis is that your husband may be experiencing symptoms related to Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). But please note, only a formal consultation can confirm this diagnosis.
I understand that especially for men, seeking psychological help can still feel like a taboo. I would suggest that you first try to have an open and non-judgmental conversation with him in a calm moment, when he’s more receptive. If he’s able to open up with you, even a little, that’s a positive sign. Agar phir bhi aap dono ko lagay ke baat samajh nahi aa rahi, ya handle karna mushkil ho raha hai, then you can gently suggest taking a professional consultation.
InshaAllah things will get better. Please take care of yourself and your children’s emotional well-being too.

Based on your description without detailed assessment and evaluation one cannot reach a final diagnosis. Your husband must be going through something which he is hiding from you. He needs psychological help as his mental health is also deteriorating and his behaviors are affecting your mental health as well. Underlying core reasons is how people suddenly change their behaviors when they are unable to cope up with the stress. Please take him to nearby psychologist or you can book my online session through Marham for detailed assessment and management.

Thank you. Right now, it’s hard to convince him to seek help. I first need to understand his behavior myself. He avoids emotional talks, and I have two kids under 5 to manage. Please guide me on how to deal with him calmly in this phase

Thank you for your response. He still shares everything with me and has never hidden anything. Some time ago, someone had too much involvement in our life, which caused repeated conflicts and emotional distance. That person is no longer in our life, but I feel the emotional impact still remains

Thank you for sharing. Since therapy isn’t an option now, focus on rebuilding emotional connection through daily calm talks, without pressure. Encourage routine, sleep, and outdoor walks together. Limit discussions about the past and create small moments of joy daily. Distract him as much as you can. Anybody diagnosing your husband based on such little information is wrong. I feel there is no such issue he only needs therapy for his underlying reasons.

According to his symptoms he is in Bipolar Manic phase.You should consult with both psychologist and psychiatrist.If he is agreed for check up it's good.But if he is not agreed you need to hospitalization plan for him(.Psychiatrist will prescribed the medicine and psychologist will develop insight in him or convince him for taking medicine).
Patient
Post Owner
Thank you for your response, but I wanted to ask what makes you think this is a bipolar manic phase? I haven’t yet discussed his full condition in detail, so I’m a bit confused. Also, isn’t hospitalization a bit extreme at this point? I don’t even know how to start this conversation with him or make him agree for help

From what you’ve described sudden, extreme mood swings, aggressive outbursts, episodes of loving behavior followed by withdrawal, and isolation this could potentially point to a mental health condition such as bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or possibly intermittent explosive disorder (IED). In some cases, such symptoms could also be triggered or worsened by stress, trauma, substance use, or an underlying medical or neurological condition.
