At times even they don’t know why they reacted in a particular fashion, may be it’s the mood swings.
But science has an explanation to certain behavioral patterns commonly seen (and mostly abhorred by men). Men and women respond differently to reductions in serotonin, the neurotransmitter that regulates mood and impulsivity. Using a technique called acute tryptophan depletion, which decreases serotonin levels in the brain, it’s found that men become more impulsive, but are less susceptible to mood swings.
Women, on the other hand, experience worsening of their mood and became more cautious -- a response associated with depression (and anxiety sometimes). Soon after the serotonin levels normal up (no relation to watching TV or their men wooing them) they bounce back to their most charming disposition.
The findings might help men understand "why women show a higher prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders compared to men, (even when they are not on their periods) while they show a higher prevalence of alcoholism and impulse control disorders"
Wait a min guys, it never means its girly to be moody-though we do have the hear warming share of it..:-)
