What Are Mood Disorders?

Mood disorders are mental health conditions that primarily affect a person’s emotional state. They often involve persistent feelings of sadness, irritability, or fluctuations between extreme highs and lows. If left untreated, mood disorders can interfere with relationships, work, school, and daily functioning.

Common mood disorders include:

  • Major Depressive Disorder (Depression)
  • Bipolar Disorder (including Bipolar I and II)
  • Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)
  • Cyclothymic Disorder
  • Mood disorders related to medical conditions or substance use

You may benefit from mood disorder treatment if you’re experiencing:

  • Intense or prolonged sadness
  • Sudden shifts in mood, energy, or behavior
  • Low motivation or loss of interest in activities
  • Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Thoughts of hopelessness or suicidal thinking
  • Periods of feeling unusually “high” or energetic followed by crashes
