Yes, sudden mood swings and outbursts of anger can be associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). According to my knowledge base, PD is linked with behavioral changes such as irritability and anger. These symptoms can be part of the disease's progression and are not uncommon in individuals who have been living with PD for several years.

Here are some key points to consider:
- Behavioral Changes: PD can cause irritability and anger outbursts.
- Progression: These symptoms may become more pronounced as the disease progresses.
- Management: It's important to discuss these changes with a healthcare provider to manage and support both the patient and the caregiver effectively.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the articles on dealing with anger outbursts and Parkinson’s disease.
