Find our more about adolescent mood disorders Mood Disorders I. What are Mood Disorders? "But when the melancholy fit shall fall Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud, That fosters the droop-headed flowers all, And hides the green hill in an April shroud; Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose." John Keats, Ode on Melancholy We have all felt sad, or melancholy, from time to time. But there is a point where the ache of sadness becomes chronic and insufferable, a mountain of pain to its victim. Mood disorders, predominantly Depression and Bi-polar syndromes, are said to strike one in seven of the population. How Prevalent are Mood Disorders in Children and Adolescents? 7-14% of children will experience an episode of major depression before the age of 15. 20-30% of adult bipolar patients report having their first episode before the age of 20. Out of 100,000 adolescents, two to three thousand will have mood disorders out of which 8-10 will commit suicide.

If you suspect your adolescent suffers from a mood disorder, it is essential that you contact a mental health professional to assess your child's needs. Mood disorders describe a range of behavioral issues that may occur in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood. We will focus on mood disorders in teenagers, because in this unique population these behavioral problems may express themselves in ways that make diagnosis more difficult. Mood disorders affect as many as 7% of Americans in any given year. The most common types are depression or mania (or a combination, known as bipolar disorder). Major depressive disorder is the most common diagnosis, and occurs twice as often in women as in men. Mood disorders are considered one of the top ten causes of disability worldwide.

UCLA Women's Research Program Pregnancy Studies Studies for New Mothers, Including "Breast-feeding" Women Director: Lori Altshuler, M.D. Physicians: Lori Altshuler, M.D., Vivien Burt, M.D., Ph.D., Rita Suri, M.D. Research Coordinator: Ana Aquino Although pregnancy has traditionally been viewed as a time of emotional well being, many pregnant women suffer from symptoms of depression or anxiety. Women who have previously experienced depression or anxiety disorders are at particularly high risk for these emotional changes. The weeks following childbirth are a time of heightened psychological vulnerability. Many new mothers feel sad, moody or irritable after the delivery. For about 10% of new mothers, these feelings escalate into postpartum depression. In addition, eating disorders and anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, frequently worsen in the postpartum period. Consequently, some pregnant or nursing women may be prescribed medications such as antidepressants. Information on the potential risks of antidepressant use during pregnancy and breast-feeding is of great importance to women who need these treatments. It is also important to identify risk factors for depression and anxiety during pregnancy and the postpartum period, so thats steps can be taken to protect women against these conditions. A number of studies show that severe emotional symptoms can adversely affect mother-infant interactions. The prevention and treatment of emotional problems therefore benefits not only the women but also their infants.

ASSESSMENT and PREVENTION are key. The earlier the treatment and intervention, the less risk of onset or relapse of postnatal difficulties. Would you know if you were suffering from postpartum depression? 1. Are you crying throughout the day, feeling overwhelmed, anxious and unable to cope? 2. Are you unable to sleep despite extreme fatigue and/or losing weight without intentional dieting? 3. Are you experiencing confusion, memory loss, disorientation and/or difficulty concentrating on ordinary tasks?

Sleep and appetite are also disrupted but this is often confused with the disruptive impact of life with a new baby. However, getting treatment is essential not only for the health of the mother but also for the infant as well. Although rare, some women may develop a psychotic depression (false fixed beliefs) with hallucinations that can encourage the mother to take her life and the life of her child or delusions about the infant being dead or defective, excessive concerns about the baby's health or have impulses to hurt the baby. The clinical presentation of PPD is similar to that of major depression or manic depression What causes PPD?
