Pain of Mood Disorder
A mood disorder like major depression makes every day painful. You might wonder why you get up in the morning. In the serious stages of the disease, sometimes you don’t get up. It’s common for people to start missing work and putting off things that need to be done. Dates and outings with friends are postponed indefinitely. You may have different excuses each time someone calls for you to go out with them. When you suffer from a mood disorder you may even make yourself go sometimes, but you don’t enjoy it. You’re missing out on the most fun life has to offer. Depression treatment can help you get back in the swing of things. You can start enjoying your life again.
If your mood disorder has been going on for a long time you might not even remember what it feels like to enjoy yourself. When’s the last time you remember feeling truly happy. When’s the last time you felt like the future held promise and things would work out? A mood disorder like clinical or manic depression keeps you from feeling optimistic. Everything that could happen feels like it will be the worst possible thing. You feel as if nothing will be okay. When something good does happen you wait for the other shoe to drop, because you don’t believe good things are meant for you. You don’t have to suffer this pain anymore. Call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202 to experience our mood disorder program for yourself.
Mood Swings
One of the worse symptoms of a mood disorder like bipolar disorder (manic depression) is the mood swings. At Sunset Malibu we understand what you’ve been going through with these swings. We’ve treated others successfully for the same conditions and we can help you, too. You don’t have to go from frenetic with energy and “high” to barely able to function because you’re so down and depressed. Bipolar disorder is the mood disorder that most commonly has the mood swings. It can make you feel like you’re losing your mind sometimes because you can go from speeding through life to completely paralyzed. The change can happen from one day to the next, as there’s no predicting it.
With the other major mood disorder classification, clinical depression, the mood swings may be just as frequent but they’re different. Clinically depressed people don’t have the manic phase of manic depression. They never hit that peak of manic energy and run at top speed only to crash. They stay in a low level mentally with this mood disorder. But they can swing from depressed to seriously depressed on a moment’s notice. Sometimes anger comes out of nowhere and tears can start for seemingly no reason. Call Sunset Malibu today at 1-800-332-9202.
Mood Disorder Warning Signs
There are warning signs of mood disorder you can look for if you’re unsure whether or not you have the disease. Bipolar disorder warning signs are usually evident once you know what to look for. Large mood swings are one of the most obvious. The swings with this disorder aren’t just in mood but activity, too. From manic and frenetic to a crash is a common cycle with manic depression. Restlessness is common during the manic phase, and the appearance of deep depression and fatigue is part of the depressed, crashed phase.
Irritability is a symptom of this mood disorder. During the manic phase, your thoughts might race and you might firmly believe that everything is all right. Your sex drive might increase and you may start projects, sometimes dozens, in a fit of optimism. Then the crash hits and the optimism and energy are gone. With depression, signs are sadness that won’t go away, feelings of hopelessness and lack of interest in things that used to excite you. Sunset Malibu can help you find relief from both of these disorders if you’ll just call us at 1-800-332-9202.
