Mood Disorder

Understanding Mood Disorders

Mood disorders encompass a range of mental health conditions that primarily affect a person’s emotional state, leading to significant disruptions in daily life. These disorders are characterized by periods of excessive sadness (depression), elevated happiness (mania), or fluctuations between the two extremes (bipolar disorder). Symptoms can vary widely but often include persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness, loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, significant changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death or suicide. In contrast, mania may present with increased energy, reduced need for sleep, grandiosity, increased talkativeness, racing thoughts, and impulsive behavior.
