“When an individual is suffering from a mood disorder, things can look pretty ominous,” states this introduction to mood disorders.

It discusses the four types of stress and some ways to alleviate it through such strategies as editation. The book also discusses the different types of bipolar disorders and depression. The symptoms commonly associated with mood disorders—for example, hopelessness and helplessness, pessimism, and social withdrawal—are described. Then, the book delves into the treatments available for mood disorders, including insight therapies, behavior therapies, and medication. The book surveys the history of mood disorders, and includes a chapter on mood disorders, society, and culture.
