Search Results - Mood disorders

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A mood disorder is the term given for a group of diagnoses in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV TR) classification system where a disturbance in the person's mood is hypothesized to be the main underlying feature.[1] The classification is known as mood (affective) disorders in ICD 10.

English psychiatrist Henry Maudsley proposed an overarching category of affective disorder.[2] The term was then replaced by mood disorder, as the latter term refers to the underlying or longitudinal emotional state,[3] whereas the former refers to the external expression observed by others.[1]

Two groups of mood disorders are broadly recognized; the division is based on whether the person has ever had a manic or hypomanic episode. Thus, there are depressive disorders, of which the best known and most researched is major depressive disorder (MDD) commonly called clinical depression or major depression, and bipolar disorder (BD), formerly known as "manic depression" and described by intermittent periods of manic and depressed episodes.

A mood disorder can be classified as substance-induced if its etiology can be traced to the direct physiologic effects of a psychoactive drug or other chemical substance, or if the development of the mood disorder occurred contemporaneously with substance intoxication or withdrawal. Alternately, an individual may have a mood disorder coexisting with a substance abuse disorder. Substance-induced mood disorders can have features of a manic, hypomanic, mixed, or depressive episode. Most substances can induce a variety of mood disorders. For example, stimulants such as amphetamine (Adderall, Dexedrine; "Speed"), methamphetamine (Desoxyn; "Meth", "Crank", "Crystal", etc), and cocaine ("Coke", "Crack", etc) can cause manic, hypomanic, mixed, and depressive episodes.

5. The Root Cause as a Therapy for OCD - A Personal Review
October 16, 2009

The Root Cause is an eBook detailing a lifestyle technique that eliminated my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, (OCD). The eBook focused on finding, coincidentally, the "Root Cause" behind OCD. The method concentrates on OCD but I think the method would be helpful to anyone suffering from any anxiety disorder or stress related issue. My OCD disorder eventually led to other anxiety disorders like panic attacks and phobias until I was finally at my wits end. Everything offered me by the medical community was designed to treat the symptoms but not eliminate the disorder. The Root Cause, on the... (read more)
