What are Mood Disorders?
Mood disorders encompass a range of mental health conditions that affect emotional stability, behavior, and overall well-being. These conditions can cause extended periods of sadness, excessive highs and lows, or a combination of both. Common examples include depression and bipolar disorder. While symptoms and severity vary, with appropriate treatment many people find relief and regain a sense of balance in their lives.
Types of Mood Disorders
Major Depressive Disorder:
Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness that last for at least two weeks.
Symptoms include fatigue, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, and loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities.
Bipolar Disorder:
Characterized by episodes of extreme highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).
Manic episodes may include increased energy, reduced need for sleep, and impulsivity, while depressive episodes mirror symptoms of MDD.Hypomania is a milder form of mania but still disrupts daily life
Common Symptoms of Mood Disorders
- Persistent sadness or emptiness
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
- Fatigue or low energy
- Irritability or mood swings
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Changes in sleep patterns (insomnia or oversleeping)
- Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
Identifying these symptoms early and accurately is key to managing mood disorders effectively. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we’re here to help
Mood Disorder Treatment Options
Medication Management
Medication is often a cornerstone of effective mood disorder treatment. We work closely with you to identify the best options, whether you’re addressing depressive symptoms, mood instability, or both.
- Antidepressants: Help alleviate symptoms of depression, such as low mood and fatigue.
- Mood Stabilizers: Reduce the intensity of manic or depressive episodes in bipolar disorder.
Safe Prescribing: We are committed to responsible prescribing practices and will work with you to safely manage or reduce your medication if necessary.
Therapy and Lifestyle Support
Medication works best when combined with supportive therapy and healthy lifestyle practices. While we do not offer therapy in-house, we can connect you with trusted therapists to complement your care.
- Therapy Benefits: Explore emotional triggers, build coping strategies, and create positive routines.
- Lifestyle Guidance:
- Exercise: Boosts mood and reduces stress.
- Nutrition: Stabilizes energy levels and supports overall brain health.
- Sleep Hygiene: Improves focus and emotional resilience.
Advanced Treatment Options: TMS and Ketamine Therapy
If traditional treatments aren’t enough, innovative therapies may offer relief:
- TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation): A non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas linked to mood regulation. Ideal for treatment-resistant depression.
- Ketamine Therapy: Known for its rapid-acting relief, especially for severe or treatment-resistant depression, ketamine helps restore hope when other medications haven’t worked.
While we don’t administer these treatments directly, we can refer you to specialists in these advanced therapies.
