Your mood is your internal emotional experience of your world and all  things in it.  It affects the way you think, feel, and behave.  It impacts the way you interact with others, the way you think about things, and how you respond to problems.

Sometimes, mood disorders develop and severely impact the way you perceive life, relationships, and even your sense of who you are and your  self-worth.  If this has happened to you, you may be finding that this  disorder has the power to rob you  of pleasure, purpose, determination,  energy, sleep, self-control, focus, appetite or appetite control, alertness,  productivity, and other things that are essential to your definition of what  makes life satisfying. 

Mood disorders don't discriminate.  They occur in persons of all genders, ages, and backgrounds. The first step to finding freedom from a mood disorder is to develop a better understanding of what it is.

There are several types of mood disorders.  They are so common many will likely recognize their names.  These include:
                                                                                  
    Major Depressive Disorder
    Bipolar
    Cyclothymia
    Dysthymia

Fortunately, mood disorders can be treated.
  People who have mood disorders can lead fulfilled, meaningful, and productive lives.  Effective options include counseling, neurofeedback, meditation, exercise, and sometimes medication.

There is hope!
