Mood disorders are mental health conditions that strongly influence your emotional well-being. Some involve fluctuating moods, while others cause mostly high or low negative moods. These emotions can impact your behaviors, often deviating from typical behaviors.

When you first visit your Avazach Psychiatry provider via telehealth with mood disorder symptoms, you get a detailed psychiatric evaluation. The results offer insight into your mental health and can help your provider make a diagnosis. They can then plan your treatment based on your diagnosis and individual needs.

Your mental health care providers specialize in diagnosing and treating common mood disorders that can significantly impact your life. They will make sure you get personalized and effective treatment for:

Depression 

Major depression causes you to lose interest in the activities and topics you usually engage in. It causes persistent negative emotions, such as sadness, hopelessness, and often guilt.

Bipolar disorder 

Bipolar disorder comes with periods of depression and mania (when your moods and energy are heightened). Mania can involve a loss of inhibition, decreased need for sleep, and talkativeness.

Your Avazach Psychiatry providers can help you manage your mood disorder with professional, evidence-based care. Effective mood disorder management often involves using multiple strategies, which can change over time according to your needs.

You might benefit from:

Supportive therapy 

Your supportive therapy sessions at Avazach Psychiatry last for 30-60 minutes. During them, you can express your concerns and work on developing coping skills. 

Medications 

Mood-regulating medications like antidepressants and mood stabilizers can make your emotions more manageable. During 20-30 minute medication management checks at Avazach Psychiatry, you can give updates on how you feel about a particular medication and any side effects you notice.

Self-care 

Self-care strategies help you meet your own needs, both physical and emotional. You might benefit from exercising, adjusting your diet, or developing a bedtime routine.
