Mood Disorders and Suicide

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Problem-based Behavioral Science and Psychiatry

Abstract

Mood disorders are ubiquitous. They are passed on via genetic risk, directly linked to other medical conditions, triggered by social events beyond our control, and resist treatment through our own subconscious defenses. With a continued shortage of psychiatrists, it is essential that providers are able to screen, identify, and potentially treat these mood conditions.
