Mood disorders are one of the most common yet misunderstood mental health conditions in the world.

While millions silently struggle, many go undiagnosed due to stigma, lack of awareness, or misinterpreting symptoms as “just a phase.”

Understanding mood disorders is not just a medical necessity – it is a social responsibility.

Do you know someone who is constantly depressed? Someone who used to be vibrant, but has lost interest in their usual activities? Someone who has trouble sleeping, or eating? Someone who is feeling hopeless?

They may be experiencing the symptoms of a mood disorder. Encourage them to talk to a counsellor or psychotherapist. We can help them understand and manage their moods, so that they can live healthy lives.
