Abstract
The term mood disorders refers to a variety of clinical conditions in which alterations of mood constitute the primary disturbance. These disorders include conditions in which mood is predominantly depressed, as well as those less frequent conditions in which mood is abnormally elated or euphoric. Although the adjectives depressed and euphoric are part of everyday speech, they mean very different things when used as clinical descriptors. Thus, although almost everyone experiences fluctuations in mood over a given period of time, these feelings are usually appropriate emotional responses to the immediate psychosocial circumstances. For example, when one is confronted with disappointments or negative events, a limited period of sadness and self-doubt is natural. Similarly, joy and renewed confidence following a promotion, a vacation, or some new opportunity are an appropriate response to these happy circumstances. Such normal “highs” and “lows” are distinguished from clinical conditions not by whether there is an event that can be found that explains the response, but by the mood state’s (1) intensity; (2) duration; (3) coexistence with other clinical signs and symptoms; and (4) impact on an individual’s functioning.
