MOOD DISORDERS, which include various forms of depression and bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), are serious brain disorders that can affect people of all ages. Mood disorders cause significant changes in mood, energy, and behavior, which can make it difficult or impossible to function effectively in everyday life.
Fortunately there are many treatments available to help people with mood disorders. NIMH studies are leading to improved understanding of these illnesses and to the development of new and better treatments. Without effective treatment, these illnesses are associated with an increased risk of death by suicide.
