I've found that Atkins has made me feel both physically and emotionally stable. I used to have horrible mood swings before LC. I was diagnosed with Depression and started taking Lexapro and my weight shot up! I had previously done Atkins and remembered how good I felt and started again. I really do feel a lot more positive. I can see how during Induction people may have mood swings, but most of the people I know said it passes within a few days. Good Luck! You could always try one out and see how it fits you!
