Write a 8 page essay on Psychological disorders.

It should be highlighted that anxiety is responsible for affecting mood however it is responsible for causing several emotions such as fear and hopelessness but should not in itself be considered as a mood disorder because even if anxiety impacts on the mood it is not correlated with mood.

Mood disorders are characterized by the following conditions-mania(inflated ego, hyperactivity, euphoria and unrealistic optimism)seasonal affective disorder, major depression and cyclothymia which is a mild form of bipolar disorder .Depression is considered as a separate condition even though it is associated with a variety of psychiatric disorders. It needs to be treated on its own.
