What Are Mood Disorders?
Mood disorders include Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Cyclothymic Disorder, and Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia). These conditions can disrupt daily life, relationships, work, and overall functioning. With the right treatment, individuals can achieve stability, reduce symptoms, and regain control over their emotional health.
Signs and Symptoms of Mood Disorders
Symptoms vary depending on the type of mood disorder but often include persistent sadness or depression, mood swings, irritability, low self-esteem, changes in sleep or appetite, loss of interest in activities, difficulty concentrating, feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness, and in some cases, periods of mania or hypomania characterized by elevated mood, increased energy, and risky behaviors.
