Mood disorders


Picture
Mood Disorders are disorders characterized by an elevation or lowering of a person's mood.   Here are some examples of Mood Disorders: 
  • Major depressive disorder -- prolonged and persistent periods of extreme sadness
  • Bipolar disorder -- also called manic depression or bipolar affective disorder, depression that includes alternating times of extreme sadness (depression) and extreme happiness (mania)
  • Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) -- a form of depression most often associated with fewer hours of daylight in the  northern and southern latitudes from late fall to early spring
  • Cyclothymic disorder -- a disorder that causes emotional ups and downs that are not as extreme as in bipolar disorder
  • Premenstrual dysphoric disorder -- mood changes and irritability that occur during the premenstrual phase of a woman's cycle and go away with the onset of menses
  • Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) -- a long-term (chronic) form of depression
  • Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder -- a disorder of chronic, severe and persistent irritability in children that often includes frequent temper outbursts that are inconsistent with the child's developmental age
  • Depression related to medical illness -- a persistent depressed mood and a significant loss of pleasure in most or all activities that's directly related to the physical effects of another medical condition
Therapeutic interventions (talk-therapy) include CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness and supportive therapy.  We will work with your doctor to help you become you again.
