Mood Disorders

A mood disorder often brings a persistent feeling of sadness or hopelessness that can last for weeks or even months, affecting your everyday life. It can drain your energy, disrupt your sleep and appetite, and impair your ability to focus. For both teens and adults, these challenges can lead to withdrawal from friends, family, and previously enjoyed activities. These symptoms can lead to depression or major depressive disorder, serious medical conditions that can be lifelong battles. 

Moving beyond your mood disorder can be particularly challenging when those around you encourage you to “cheer up” or “focus on the positive.” Though these sentiments may be well-meaning, they can make someone suffering from depression feel even more isolated. Mood related problems can be hard to articulate which makes them difficult for others to understand and empathize with. It doesn’t help that many mood disorders include a heavy dose of self-doubt, keeping you from reaching out. Luckily there are trained professionals like those at Vancouver ADHD and Mood Clinic PLLC who can help.
