Diane asked if you have talked to your mom about this, and I am also curious, as you said, "She has always had a tendency to do this, but I can't remember if it started after her surgery or before".
The cause of her mood swings are what is most important, as well as her interest in finding a remedy. She must know that she can go TALK to a doctor about her concerns...she won't be "cut on again". If she is having mood swings that you are unsure if she has "always been like this", she may need to talk with her gynecologist to have her hormone levels checked. Please don't rule out the need for a counselor or psychologist, if she has really been like this for as long as you can remember, she may be depressed or anxious (and this is seldom discussed in families!).
There is no vitamin that can help with either depression, anxiety... or with a hormonal imbalance that is causing mood swings. She would need to be specifically diagnosed, so she can receive specific individualized treatment.
Please talk with your mom, and we can help walk you through a few trial scripts if you need. What has your mom expressed as concerns regarding her symptoms? Is she open to talking with her doctor (I assume she still sees her doctor for periodic check-ups??)
