Mood Disorders Q&A


What are mood disorders, and what are the most common types?

Mood disorders encompass a range of conditions that affect a person's emotional state. Common types include depression, bipolar disorder, and cyclothymic disorder. These disorders can significantly impact your mood, making it difficult to maintain emotional stability.

Dr. Nzoiwu's expertise lies in diagnosing and treating mood disorders, offering individualized care to help you regain control of your emotions and lead a more balanced life.

How are mood disorders diagnosed and treated?

At Healthstat Psychiatry, the journey to managing mood disorders begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Nzoiwu takes the time to understand your unique emotional challenges and symptoms. This assessment guides the development of a personalized treatment plan. 

Whether it's depression, bipolar disorder, or another mood disorder, we employ evidence-based therapies and medication management to alleviate symptoms and promote emotional stability.

What role does therapy play in treating mood disorders?

Therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT), plays a crucial role in the treatment of mood disorders.

These therapies assist individuals in understanding and managing their emotions, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and enhancing emotional resilience. Dr. Nzoiwu and her team work closely with patients to incorporate therapy into their treatment plans, providing valuable tools for managing mood disorders effectively.

Can mood disorders be cured?

While not all mood disorders can be cured, they can go into remission, and people can live their lives free of the most debilitating symptoms. With proper care and attention, you can find relief from your symptoms and feel better.
