Emotional lability refers to rapid, often exaggerated changes in
mood, where strong emotions or feelings (uncontrollable
laughing or crying, or heightened irritability or temper) occur.

that is greater than the person's emotions.People also ask
If you have emotional lability, you may have feelings come out of
nowhere and overwhelm you. You may, for instance, start crying
for an unknown reason. Emotional lability can also cause you to
overreact to people or things happening around you. For example,
you may become more emotional at a sad or funny movie
