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 like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and supportive approaches, we aim to empower individuals to manage and overcome the challenges associated with mood disorders, fostering resilience and promoting long-term mental well-being.
Mood Disorders
A mood disorder is a mental health condition that significantly influences your emotional well-being. This disorder manifests as prolonged periods of either intense happiness, profound sadness, or a combination of both. At times, these symptoms can prove disruptive, not only impacting their lives but also affecting the overall functioning of their families. Some mood disorders extend to encompass persistent emotions like anger and irritability. While occasional mood fluctuations are a natural response to varying situations, a mood disorder diagnosis requires the presence of symptoms persisting for several weeks or longer. These conditions can bring about notable changes in behavior, impacting your capacity to engage in routine activities. The significance of addressing these mood disorders is crucial as leaving them untreated can result in prolonged suffering and contribute to lifelong mental health struggles.
Conditions we treat include:
Treatment
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) stands out as the extensively researched therapeutic approach for mood disorders, encompassing depression and bipolar disorder among others. In CBT, children, adolescents, and young adults gain insights into the interplay between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This awareness sets the stage for active collaboration between patients and 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.
