Mood Disorders Overview and Treatment
Показать описание
Dr. Pagnani of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates discusses the term "Mood Disorders," and the importance of seeing a mental health provider if someone is struggling with their emotions.
Some examples of mood disorders include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Bipolar Affective Disorders (Type 1 and 2), Pre-menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), Postpartum Depression, Dysthymia and others.
Mood disorders tend to be episodic in nature, and are TREATABLE MEDICAL ILLNESSES. However, when someone is in a depression or distressing mood state, they often feel like they are never going to get better, or they cannot be treated, which is not true. Treatment may involve behavioral modification, psychotherapy and/or medication management. Treatment can not only pull someone out of a mood episode (like depression) but can prevent future medical mood episodes as well.
It is also important to see a medical provider, as many medical conditions can mimic mood disorders. Cardiac, neurological, hormonal and other medical conditions can cause mood changes. Substances (like medications for other medical conditions), drugs and alcohol can also affect mood. Having a full evaluation and workup can be extremely important for making the correct diagnosis and formulating an effective treatment plan.
Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a private practice of psychiatry consisting of about 25 psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychotherapists with physical locations in Philadelphia and Paoli, PA and serving all of PA, NJ, NY and FL virtually via HIPAA compliant tele-psychiatry. Individuals seeking not only evaluations but long-term psychiatric care, can contact Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates directly.
These videos aim to increase awareness and discussion of mental health topics and to encourage struggling individuals to schedule an appointment directly with a mental health provider. Mental health needs to be normalized, and simply speaking about mental health topics openly, is an important first step.
