Moods are the emotional states that influence how we perceive and engage with the world. When our emotions become imbalanced, they can lead to mood disorders, which—like any other health condition—require thoughtful, professional treatment to restore well-being.
At The Beekeeper House in Chiang Mai, we provide inpatient treatment for mood disorders in a peaceful, natural setting. Our dedicated team supports you in understanding and regulating your emotions, helping you move toward a healthier, more balanced life. Let us support you in taking the first step toward emotional clarity and resilience.
Mood disorders are mental health conditions that significantly impact emotional well-being, often causing dramatic shifts between extreme highs (mania or hypomania) and deep lows (depression). Irritability, anger, or emotional volatility may also accompany these episodes.
Such mood changes can interfere with work, school, relationships, and overall health. They may affect sleep patterns, appetite, and daily functioning.Effective treatment typically includes a blend of psychotherapy and, when appropriate, medication.
If you or someone you love is affected, seeking early professional support is essential.
Mood disorders are often grouped into two main categories: depressive disorders and bipolar disorders. Each category includes several conditions, diagnosed according to a person’s specific symptoms and experiences. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for effective treatment.
Types Of Mood Disorders
Depression—also known as major or clinical depression—is one of the most common mental health conditions globally. According to the World Health Organization, it affects roughly 3.8% of the population.
Common symptoms include persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and physical discomfort. A diagnosis typically requires symptoms to last for at least two weeks.
There are several different types of depression, including:
Emotional and psychological distress after childbirth, lasting beyond the typical “baby blues” period.
A chronic form of depression lasting two years or more, with consistent symptoms.
A severe form of premenstrual syndrome marked by intense mood swings, irritability, and fatigue.
Depression accompanied by hallucinations or delusions, requiring specialized treatment.
Depression triggered by seasonal changes, most often in autumn or winter.
Primarily affects children and adolescents with chronic irritability and severe temper outbursts.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by significant shifts in mood, energy, and concentration. These fluctuations can impair everyday life and relationships. The disorder exists in multiple forms:
Defined by manic episodes lasting at least seven days, often alternating with depressive episodes.
Chronic mood fluctuations that don't meet full criteria for bipolar I or II but still disrupt functioning.
Involves episodes of hypomania and more intense depressive phases.
Mood disorders stem from a combination of neurochemical imbalances, genetic factors, and life stressors. Situations such as bereavement, chronic illness, or high stress can trigger or worsen symptoms.
