Can masturbation cause severe moodswings?

I feel like everytime I masturbate, it causes me to feel more depressed. For example if I don't do it for two weeks, I'll feel more energetic, cheerful and on an emotional high. But when I start doing it regularly I feel drained, cranky and just weird. Am I imagining it? Is it some sort of chemical imbalance? How can you even ask your doctor this sort of thing? Is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

Maybe you're just more likely to masturbate when you're depressed and when you feel better/more sociable, you don't feel the urge to masturbate so much?

If it really bothers you, maybe you can tell your doctor that your libido strongly affects your mood and that it's interfering with your life and that you just need some advice...?
Be careful it can also cause blindness.
maybe for you but i think its different for everyone
yes, it is normal to feel that when you do it. my friend asked a doctor that replied to him in details. masturbation really change your life to the worse, believe me.
either go to another doctor who doesn't know you and ask him, or bring it as a discussion matter to your doctor, like (me & friends discussed it and is it true that ... etc)
Masturbation is reminding you that you don't have a girl.

That causes depression.
I think your man juice is holding all your dopamine haha
yup it can it happens to me but only with excesive wanking because everytiem you do it drains certain chemicals in your brain and releases other hormones that eventually build up and mess with your emotions also
i feel like if i wank to much my muscles ache not off exercise or anything they just hurt
might be just me tho
I have been masturbating for many decades and it has not affected me at all except for this desire to pull my dick out and put it in the blender
Could it also be that you feel some sort of resentment or guilt from masturbating? That can also make you depressed.

Masturbation is normal...although doing it in excess can really use up all your energy.
I don't think you're doing it right.
Masturbation is perfectly normal. People do it all the time and it's fine. The issue here is purely psychological. If you feel guilty afterwards, then we have a bit of a problem. Maybe that's what it is, doing it subconciously reminds you that you don't have a girlfriend. Let's remind ourselves one thing, even married people do it occasionally, so you're not exactly problematic. Ask yourself one thing; what does masturbation mean to you? When you have the answer, you can more or less sort out your pwn problem.
I've been masturbating for many years since I realized that I liked the feeling And No it does not cause Depression, Mood Swings
I do believe that our moods effect our sex drives and if our moods are low, maybe so
our sex drives are too
This happends to me sometimes maybe its purely pychcological maybe its best for your emotional health not to masterbate frequently
Why should you give your lower part so much credit? You have a brain use it....whenever your brain wants to give itself pleasure then let your brain have pleasure. Don't get caught.
I feel epic after i masterbate because i dont feel horny anymore and can relax i feel depressed if i dnt wank :D
i love you.
