altered mood
It seems to me that a gemoedsinstelling is rather the same as a gemoedstoestand which is a mood. I hope this helps!

"gemoedsinstelling" looks like a contamination of "gemoedsgesteldheid" and "gemoedsstemming"

mood swing
just a suggestion, since it's caused by a drug, which may affect brain chemistry.

: 'Mood swing(s)' seems to correspond to Dutch 'stemmingswisseling(en)' which implies recurrent mood changes. IMO 'altered mood' is a good/safer alternative.

: '-instelling' seems to be something permanent, whereas mood swings denote something which is not.

: Lijkt mij ook oké. 'Wisselingen' en 'wijzigingen' zijn wat mij betreft synoniem hier. Ik denk niet dat er bedoeld wordt dat alle experimentele geneesmiddelen sowieso voor een permanente en onomkeerbare gemoedstoestand zorgen.

altered disposition
ik lees gemoedsinstelling hier als gemoedsgesteldheid
en wanneer je deze variant googelt wordt je onthaald op vrachtwagenladingen vol met medische webstekjes
ik ben dus vrij zeker van mijn zaak

: niet hetzelfde als stemmingswisselingen, die zeer tijdelijk van aard zijn. Gemoedstoestand is van langere duur.

mood alterations
or "alterations in mood"
Ik ben het met geen van de voorgestelde vertalingen eens behalve misschien "altered moods" - maar ook dat zegt "veranderde" in plaats van "veranderende" (wisselende) gemoedsinstelling. Mood swings is meer voor bipolars en PMS (natuurlijke mood swings), (changed) state of mind is meer voor denken dan voor emoties, volatility is gewoon fout, disposition is meer genetisch of karakterologisch, en "altered emotional states" is ook meer van toepassing op trauma's en ziektes. "alterations in mood" en "mood alterations" hebben de meeste google hits.

Ok, ik heb het dus fout in me opgenomen als "veranderende gemoedsinstellingen." Ik hou het dan bij "altered mood." Sorry for my lecture.

a change in temperament/mood
I presumed that it is a permanent change (as long as the medication is taken), which is a change in temperament. If it is less permanent, mood might be a better choice.
