Have you ever considered the possibility that our mood changes within a normal range but that we are so sensitive to these changes that just our reactions to them are more extreme?
Or is a mood always (caused by) a (psychological) reaction? What about emotions.
I think it's a bit of both, but I don't know to what extent it's psychological, not just an immediate, autonomous reaction or a state not influenced by external stimuli, but just more or less arbitrarily changing or purely based on previous mood states.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
