Mood Disorders

We all experience a range of emotions, from joy to sadness, and it's normal for our moods to fluctuate in response to life's ups and downs. However, when these feelings become intense, persistent, and begin to interfere with daily life, they may indicate a mood disorder. Mood disorders can significantly impact your emotional well-being, leading to prolonged periods of sadness, irritability, or even extreme mood swings that disrupt your ability to function. These conditions can affect not only you but also your 

relationships, work, and overall quality of life. At Life InSight, we understand the heavy toll that mood disorders can take, and we're here to offer compassionate, evidence-based support to help you navigate these challenges.


At Life InSight, we specialize in treating a spectrum of mood disorders that include:


  • Depressive Disorders
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder
  • Emotional Dysregulation

  • Persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness
  • Irritability or anger that seems disproportionate to situations
  • Low frustration tolerance and frequent outbursts
  • Significant changes in appetite or sleep patterns
  • Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
  • Fatigue or lack of energy
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
  • Mood swings ranging from extreme highs (mania) to severe lows (depression)
  • Suicidal thoughts or behaviors

At Life InSight, we treat children, adolescents and adults with mood disorders who often contend with persistent feelings of 

sadness, irritability, anger, and lower frustration tolerance. Through evidence-based methods and supportive approaches, we aim to empower individuals to manage and overcome the challenges associated with mood disorders. Our clinicians work to foster

 resilience and promote long-term mental well-being.


Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) stands out as the extensively researched therapeutic approach for mood disorders, 

encompassing depression and bipolar disorder among others. In CBT, individuals gain insights into the interplay between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This awareness sets the stage for active collaboration between clients and their therapists, working together to achieve specific goals. The focus includes identifying and transforming unhelpful thoughts, enhancing 

problem-solving skills, and encouraging engagement in positive activities that foster healthy choices.
