What are mood disorders?
Mood disorders are a category of mental health conditions involving significant disturbances in a person's emotional state. The most well-known is bipolar disorder, which is marked by shifts between depressive episodes and periods of mania or hypomania: elevated energy, impulsivity and heightened mood.
Bipolar disorder often first appears before age 19, and symptoms can look different in adolescents (rapid mood swings or mixed episodes) compared to adults (more distinct periods of elevation and depression). Because bipolar disorder can resemble depression, especially during depressive episodes, an accurate diagnosis is essential: using certain antidepressants alone can sometimes worsen symptoms if bipolar disorder isn't correctly identified first.
With an accurate diagnosis and consistent, long-term treatment, most people with mood disorders are able to achieve meaningful stability.

Questions patients ask
What is the difference between bipolar I and bipolar II disorder?
Bipolar I involves full manic episodes that may include extreme highs and often depressive episodes. Bipolar II features less severe hypomanic episodes alongside depressive episodes, which are often the more disruptive part of the condition.
How is a mood disorder diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation of mood history, episode patterns, and daily functioning over time. Because mood disorders can resemble depression or anxiety, an accurate history is essential to identify the right diagnosis.
Does mood disorder treatment always require medication?
Mood stabilizing medication is often central to treating bipolar spectrum disorders, though treatment plans are individualized and may also include therapy and lifestyle strategies to support long-term stability.
Is mood disorder treatment covered by insurance?
Many mood disorder evaluation and treatment services are covered by insurance, including ongoing medication management. Our team can help verify your specific benefits before your first appointment.
Can mood disorders start in adolescence?
Yes. Many mood disorders, including bipolar disorder, first appear before age 19. Early evaluation and treatment can help improve long-term outcomes.
What if i'm not sure whether I have depression or a mood disorder like bipolar disorder?
That distinction matters for treatment, since some antidepressants can worsen bipolar symptoms if used alone. A comprehensive evaluation can clarify the correct diagnosis and treatment approach.
