Mood Disorder

Health experts use the term "mood disorder" to refer to a broad category of mental illnesses that includes bipolar disorder and depression. Mood problems can affect adults, teens, and children. But kids and teenagers don't necessarily experience the same symptoms as adults. Children are more difficult to diagnose with mood problems since they are not always able to articulate their feelings. Mood problems can be treated with the aid of self-care, medications, therapy, and support. Individuals with mood disorders can have stable, productive, and healthy lives if they receive the proper diagnosis and treatment.

Your general emotional state or mood, which affects your capacity to operate, is twisted or inconsistent with your circumstances if you have a mood disorder. You might experience times of intense happiness interspersed with bouts of despair, or you might be very sad, empty, or irritable (depressed). Anxiety disorders frequently coexist with depression and have the potential to impact mood as well.
