Why can't mood swings be predictable?

I know, I know. That makes no sense. I had a sucky day today and NO depression or anxiety. But on really good days a mood swing or depressive episode will hit me, sometimes hard. I really wish that there was some rhyme or reason to all of this.

Turtle,

When I ponder that kind of question, I refer to the appropriate episode of the Charlie Rose Brain Series.

If you haven't discovered that wonderfully informative and insightful series of PBS programs, you can view any of the topics on the website.
