Types of Mood Disorders

Bipolar Disorder

Also known as manic depression, bipolar disorder features alternating periods of depression and highly elevated mood or mania. Both extremes of the symptoms come with their challenges. The mania can impair the individual’s sense of reality and consequences, while the depressed mood periods include a lack of interest in normally enjoyable activities.

Major Depression

Persistent sadness, low self-esteem, hopelessness, fatigue, irritability, and decreased interest in activities for two weeks or more characterize a major depressive disorder (MDD). For most people, their first major depressive episode occurs in their mid-20s. Unfortunately, the earlier the onset of a major depressive episode, the more persistent and severe MDD can be into adulthood without proper treatment and support.

Dysthymia

Individuals with dysthymia experience low-grade symptoms of depression that last for at least one year. Dysthymia is a persistent, milder form of MDD.

Substance-Induced Mood Disorder

Symptoms of depression can be triggered when an individual is attempting to withdrawal from addictive drugs. Symptoms of these substance-induced mood disorders can be especially severe when stopping the misuse of heroin and methamphetamines.
