What Are Mood Disorders?
Mood disorders are mental health conditions that deeply affect how you feel, function, and relate to the world. They’re more than temporary emotional lows — they’re persistent patterns that interfere with daily life, relationships, and well-being. At Gen Advanced Healthcare, we specialize in identifying and treating a wide range of mood disorders with compassion and evidence-based care.
Common Types of Mood Disorders We Treat:
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
A severe, hormone-related mood disorder that causes mood swings, irritability, and depression during the premenstrual phase of the menstrual cycle.
Dysthymia (Persistent Depressive Disorder)
Chronic, low-level depression that lasts for years. Symptoms may be mild but are consistent, often leading people to believe it’s just “how they are.”
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Triggered by reduced sunlight, usually during fall and winter. SAD can lead to fatigue, low mood, and social withdrawal.
Cyclothymic Disorder
A milder, chronic form of bipolar disorder. Symptoms are less intense but can persist for years, affecting stability and daily functioning.
Common Types of Mood Disorders We Treat:
Symptoms vary depending on the disorder but may include:
-
Ongoing sadness or emptiness
-
Mood swings or irritability
-
Fatigue or low energy
-
Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
-
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
-
Appetite changes
-
Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
-
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
-
Periods of excessive energy or impulsive behavior (bipolar)
Mood disorders don’t look the same for everyone. Some people may feel slowed down or numb, while others experience agitation or anxiety. No matter the presentation, your experience is valid — and treatable.
Common Types of Mood Disorders We Treat:
At Gen Advanced Healthcare, we take a personalized, comprehensive approach to care.
Medication Management

Holistic Support
We integrate care to treat co-occurring conditions like anxiety, trauma, or substance use abuse. Our goal is to support the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a mood disorder or just normal mood changes?
It’s normal to experience ups and downs, but mood disorders involve persistent, disruptive emotional states that interfere with your daily life, work, and relationships. If your symptoms last more than two weeks or keep returning, it’s worth seeking a professional evaluation.
Can mood disorders be cured?
While there’s no one-size-fits-all “cure,” mood disorders are highly treatable. With the right combination of medication, therapy, and support, many people experience long-term symptom relief and improved quality of life.
What causes mood disorders?
Mood disorders can be caused by a combination of factors including genetics, brain chemistry, trauma, hormonal changes, and environmental stressors. No single cause explains every case, which is why personalized care is essential.
Are medications always necessary?
Not always. Some people benefit from therapy alone, while others need medication to manage symptoms effectively. At Gen Advanced Healthcare, we create a tailored treatment plan based on your needs, preferences, and clinical diagnosis.
Can I get help virtually?
Yes! We offer secure telehealth appointments so you can receive expert mental health care from the comfort of your home.
