What Is It?

A mood disorder is a mental health condition that affects a person’s emotional state over a long period. It includes conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and cyclothymia, where moods can feel stuck, extreme, or difficult to manage.

Common Experiences

People with mood disorders may feel persistently low, hopeless, or unusually high and energised. There can be shifts in sleep, appetite, motivation, and self-worth. These emotional changes can feel unpredictable and often impact relationships, work, and daily routines.
