What Are Mood Disorders?
Mood disorders can disrupt everyday life and relationships in unexpected ways. People with these conditions often struggle with long-lasting sadness or extreme changes in mood. A mood disorder is a mental health condition that goes beyond the typical ups and downs of life. Our mental health professionals at Psychiatric Connections can help identify several types of mood disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, and other conditions, that cause sensitivities of feeling overwhelmed, confused, or disconnected. Depression causes persistent low energy, loss of interest, and feelings of hopelessness. Bipolar disorder brings cycles of intense highs (mania) and deep lows (depression). Each person's experience can be different, but our team can recommend a treatment plan that will help you reclaim control over your emotions. Schedule a consultation today. Psychiatric Connections offers confidential telehealth sessions for clients in the western U.S., including those in Seattle, WA; San Diego and Los Angeles, CA; Reno, NV; and Phoenix, AZ.
How Are Mood Disorders Treated?
Treatment for mood disorders often includes therapy, medication, or a combination of both. Our licensed therapists can provide tools to better manage changes in mood and other challenges. Medications, like antidepressants or mood stabilizers, can balance brain chemicals that affect emotions. Lifestyle changes can also make a difference. Regular exercise, good sleep habits, and stress management techniques often improve emotional well-being. Proper treatment depends on the individual so working closely and engaging in open and compassionate conversations with a mental health professional will help empower your recovery and build a strong therapeutic connection.
What Are the Symptoms of Mood Disorders?
Symptoms of mood disorders vary but can often be spotted. Common signs of mood disorders include:
- Ongoing sadness or irritability
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Extreme mood changes or rapid mood swings
- Fatigue or low energy
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Changes in sleep patterns (too much or too little)
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
