Depression and Mood Concerns
The spectrum of mood concerns spans from depression to mania.
Depression is more than sadness. It is considered a disorder of mood, and thus the experience of depression is much more than the everyday ‘down’ periods that we may experience in life. The severity of depression can vary, however such variations in mood can have a major impact on your mental well-being and life in general.
The other extreme of the spectrum of mood disorders is individuals experiencing episodes of mania – extreme emotional highs. This in itself, or when combined with the oscillation of lowered mood can lead to challenges and limit one’s ability to engage in life.
Whether you experience a loss of interest in things, persistent sadness, extreme irritation, or emotional highs and extreme mood changes, know that you are not alone and there is support available for you.
