Abstract

Mood disorders are characterized by emotional dysregulation that can involve periods of elevated or depressed mood of varying intensity and duration. Associated changes in behavior and cognition adversely impact functioning across settings, including the classroom. Underlying weaknesses in executive functioning, mediated by the frontal-subcortical neurological networks that facilitate emotional regulation, often exist prior to the onset of a mood episode and become exacerbated during a mood episode. Accurate differential assessment of symptoms and clarification of comorbidities must be conducted in the context of developmental expectations and shared neurological weaknesses. Conceptualization of etiology often requires specialized training by a child psychologist or psychiatrist which informs psychological, pharmacological, and school-based accommodations and services. Treatment outcomes and longitudinal outcomes among youth with mood disorders are also discussed.
