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 first symptom of Lyme disease in most people is an expanding red skin rash (called erythema migrans or an EM rash). In about a third of people, the rash looks like a bull's-eye, with a pale center area surrounded by a bright red rim. The rash is often accompanied by flu-like symptoms, including: 1  Fatigue (the most common symptom). 2  Headache and stiff neck. 3  Fever (which may be high in children, but this is rare). 4  Muscle and joint pain.
