Mood disorders involve ongoing changes in mood that interfere with how a person feels, thinks and manages life. They may present as persistent low mood, irritability, or emotional highs and lows. Common conditions include major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder (where specialised bipolar disorder therapy treatment in Sydney would help), persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), seasonal affective disorder, postnatal depression, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). These presentations often co-occur with anxiety, trauma, or stress-related conditions.
Living with a mood disorder can impact motivation, energy, concentration, sleep and self-esteem. It may affect work or study, strain relationships or lead to withdrawal and isolation. For some it can include thoughts of self-harm or suicide. Understanding your experiences and learning strategies to regulate mood can improve quality of life.
Our psychologists and counsellors draw on a range of evidence-based therapies to help clients recognise patterns, manage emotions and build coping skills, including:

Mindfulness-Based Strategies
