Depression is the most prominent symptom that attracts patients to get mental health. Psychotherapy is a general treatment for depression in which the therapist talks about your mental condition and its relation to mental disorders. This therapy, also called talk therapy, is most widely used by top world psychologists to deal with depression.

Common treatments for mood disorders include therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medication like antidepressants or mood stabilizers, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and healthy sleep, and support from counseling or group therapy. Treatment is often tailored to individual needs.

Depression is treatable but not always curable. Many people can manage their symptoms effectively with therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes, leading to long periods of remission. However, for some, depression can be a recurring condition that requires ongoing treatment and management.

Mood disorders

Mood disorders are mental health conditions that mainly affect emotional states. individuals could experience intense and persistent elation, sadness and may also involve anger and/or irritability. It is a completely normal phenomenon for mood to change based on the situation. However, to be considered for a diagnosis, symptoms must be present for several weeks. Mood disorders can cause changes in one’s behaviour and affect the ability to perform routine activities or activities of daily living (ADLs). The good news is that they are treatable with psychotherapy or talk therapy. The most common mood disorders are depression and bipolar.

To be diagnosed with Depressive Disorder, symptoms must last for at least 2 weeks interfering with your ability to study, work and maintain relationships. It might seem like a struggle coping with these range of symptoms like hopelessness, disturbances in sleep and appetite and low energy.

Physical symptoms of aches and pains that are not explained by another medical condition may also occur. Ability to think clearly, making it difficult to concentrate and make decisions.
