A surprising number of young adults suffer from mood disorders. Also, women are more prone to developing mood disorders than men.
HOW ARE MOOD DISORDERS TREATED?
Mood disorders are treated in conjunction with medication and therapy. However, it is not always easy to come upon the right mix of drugs or counseling tactics that can ably treat a person’s mood disorder. The factors that cause these mood disorders and the symptoms that are expressed are rarely uniform, which makes the diagnosis even more difficult for counselors. The therapy decided for the patient depends largely on the specific type of mood disorder the individual suffers from and any other health complaints that he or she may have.
TYPES OF THERAPY COMMONLY USED TO TREAT MOOD DISORDERS
Counselors and therapists commonly employ the following therapeutic treatments for patients with mood disorders:
· Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
· Mindfulness
