Lyme disease causes depression, which can cause mood swings. Additionally, the pain associated with Lyme is enough to cause patients to become irritable. Lyme disease is a systemic infection that can affect all systems of the human body. This disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi.
The early stages of Lyme disease usually include the bullâs-eye rash (erythema migrans) and flu-like symptoms of chills and fever, fatigue, muscle pain, and headache. In rare cases, patients develop an abnormal heartbeat (Lyme carditis). All of these conditions are treated with 10 - 28 days with antibiotics. Other symptoms may accompany the rash, such as joint pain, fever, chills, or fatigue. 2  If Lyme disease is not treated, more severe symptoms and complications can occur. 3  These include arthritis, neurologic symptoms, or heart problems.
