German term
Gemüt
Perhaps this will seem easy to most of you, but I have trouble finding a suitable expression:
mental changes, emotional changes, mood changes, etc. ??
What exactly is Gemüt?
Thanks!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

mood swings
'mood swings' would be an appropriate term:
"Mood swings are universal, varying from the microscopic to the wild oscillations of manic depression, so that a continuum can be traced from normal struggles ..."

Elisabeth Moser
: changes in mood would be correct, mood swings are mainly associated with bipolar (manic depression) but here anxieties are mentioned as well

state of mind
"State of mind" bezieht sich meiner Meinung nach auf den Gemuetszustand einer Person.
Evident changes in state of mind... are most likely symptoms of overdosing

: so many ways to do this but I would go with "mood swings"

Sabine Reynaud
: The sentence describes a change in mood, not mood swings

Exactly! A (short-term) mood swing is different from a (persistent or ongoing) alteration. THX Sabine
