What Is a Mood Disorder?
Mood disorders primarily affect a person’s emotional state. This mental health state is a disorder in which a person experiences periods of sadness, happiness, or both. Depending on the circumstances, a mood change is normal. However, if the flux of emotions doesn’t fit the situation, you might have a mood disorder.
