Mood Disorder

Mood disorders are mental health illnesses characterized by prolonged periods of extreme sadness (depression), extreme joy (mania), or both. Depression and manic episodes are the two emotional extremes of mood disorders.

Overview


Mood Disorders can be classified into different types as follows,


Atypical depression:  feeling as though your limbs are heavy, gaining weight from "comfort eating," sleeping too much, and experiencing emotional hypersensitivity. 


Depressive disorder: is characterized by a lack of energy and focus for at least two weeks, as well as a lower than-usual interest in routine tasks. 


Dysthymia: A persistent, low-grade melancholy or irritated mood that lasts for at least two years is called dysthymia (chronic depression). 


Bipolar Disorder : Periods of mania or heightened mood alternate with periods of depression, which is the hallmark of this mood illness. 


Postpartum depression (PPD) : Soon after a child is born, a potentially serious type of depression known as postpartum depression (PPD) can strike.


Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) : A severe and incapacitating form of premenstrual syndrome.


Psychotic major depression (PMD): A severe depressive episode called psychotic major depression (PMD) is characterized by hallucinations and delusions. 


Seasonal affective disorder (SAD): usually appears at the start of winter.



Causes


A multitude of factors, including,

  • Heredity

  • Stressful life events

  • Chemical imbalances in the brain  can contribute to mood disorders.

"Most cases of this illness affect women," Major depression primarily affects women who are not yet menopausal. Women are twice as likely as men to experience a depressive episode throughout their lifetimes.



Symptoms


It's crucial to pay attention to even the smallest shifts in your emotional state because the symptoms of mood disorders might be simple to overlook. The following are typical signs of mood disorders: 


  • Aggression 

  • Hatred, or irritability 

  • Persistent melancholy 

  • Emptiness, or anxiety 

  • Alterations in weight or appetite 

  • Modifications to sleep habits

  • Inability to concentrate

These symptoms could be more severe and persistent than you typically encounter on occasion. They could, for example, make it difficult for you to work or enjoy time with friends and family.
