Understanding Mood Disorders

Mood disorders are mental health conditions that affect a person’s emotional state. They can manifest as persistent sadness, intense mood swings, or periods of high energy followed by deep lows. These conditions can be challenging to manage, but with the proper treatment and support, it is possible to achieve stability and emotional well-being.
