Let us help you manage your mood disorder to improve your quality of life.
Mood disorders vary in severity, duration and symptoms, significantly impacting well-being. These disorders, such as major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, involve disturbances in mood that go beyond the normal fluctuations experienced in everyday life.
Professional evaluation is crucial to developing personalized treatment plans, helping you regain control of your emotional well-being.
Common mood disorders include:
Anxiety disorders: The anxiety extends beyond occasional worry or fear, persisting and intensifying over time and significantly impacting daily activities, work performance, academic pursuits and relationships. Types of anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and social anxiety disorder. These conditions affect more than 21 percent of adults in America (42.5 million individuals) each year.
Major depressive disorder (MDD): Characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness and loss of interest in activities, this disorder may include changes in appetite, sleep patterns and energy levels.
Bipolar disorder: Previously known as manic-depressive illness, this disorder involves mood swings between episodes of depression and mania, characterized by elevated mood, increased energy and impulsivity.
Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia): This is a chronic depression lasting at least two years, with periods of less severe symptoms, but overall persistent mood disturbance.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD): This depression occurs seasonally, typically in fall and winter due to reduced sunlight exposure.
Evaluation for a mood disorder usually starts with a visit to your primary care provider. Some physical health conditions, like an overactive thyroid, low blood sugar and certain medications, can mimic or exacerbate anxiety disorders, so your doctor may perform tests or screenings to rule out those conditions.
A comprehensive mental health evaluation is also highly beneficial, as anxiety disorders often coexist with related conditions such as depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder. We’ll work closely with your primary care physician to properly address all your mental health needs.
