Low Lithium is an interesting factor that integrative health specialists are starting to talk about. Because our food is so intensively farmed, soil has been depelated of trace elements like Lithium. Supplementing with Lithium Orate (available off the shelf in the US) has a huge impact on emotional reactivity. Another option would be to grow your own potatoes in good soil.
Microbiome also affects mood since most neurotransmitters are synthesised in the stomach. Most people are deficient magnesium, bifidobacterium, and P5P which leads to low GABA - the emotional handbrake neurotransmitter.
Low level chronic inflammation or dental pain can be another factor.
Not necessarily.
In most cases it's physiological.
