What is Mood Disorder?
Mood disorders are real mental health conditions that can affect silently your emotional state, including mood, energy levels, thoughts, and your daily functioning. Though mood changes are very common, when these shifts stay for weeks or longer, they can make everyday work, studies and relationships feel hard to manage. Common mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder can cause periods of low mood and extreme mood changes.
In Kerala, you may have heard people calling it “mood swings” “tension” or “overthinking” but they are real and recognised medical conditions, not personal weaknesses. Clinically, mood disorders are classified under ICD-10 codes (F30–F39), including depressive disorders and bipolar disorders. Globally, millions of people are currently living with mood disorders, making them a major mental health concern. The most important thing to remember is that mood disorders are treatable with the right support, therapy and care.
