Mood Disorders Social Workers in Cedar Park, Texas

It’s normal to experience mood changes. However, for individuals experiencing a mood disorder, the changes are more persistent, extreme, and can impact functioning and everyday life. “Mood disorders” refers to a category of mental health conditions where a person’s emotional state is affected.

Mood disorders include two subcategories: depressive disorders and bipolar disorders. Depressive disorders are characterized by low mood and/or diminished interest or pleasure in activities, alongside other symptoms. For bipolar disorders, core features vary by diagnosis, but generally involve depressive episodes and rapid shifts in mood and energy to an elevated state, known as mania.
