Document Summary
Two key moods in mood disorders: depression and mania. Depression: involves feelings of extraordinary sadness and dejection. Mania: often characterized by intense and unrealistic feelings of excitement and euphoria. Manic and depressive moods are seen as two ends of the mood continuum, with normal mood in the middle. Mixed-episode cases: when an individual may have symptoms of mania and depression during the same time period. Unipolar depressive disorders: when a person experiences only depressive episodes. Bipolar and related disorders: when a person experiences both depressive and manic episodes. Most common form of mood disturbance: a depressive episode. Depressive episode: a person is markedly depressed or loses interest in formerly pleasurable activities (or both) for at least 2 weeks, as well as other symptoms such as changes in sleep or appetite, or feelings of worthlessness. Manic episode: a person showed a markedly elevated, euphoric, or expansive mood, often interrupted by occasional outbursts of intense irritability or even violence.
