In psychology, a mood is defined as an emotional state of mind or mental focus. Moods are not the same as emotions or feelings. Moods have either a positive or negative connotation, which is why people are generally described as being in either a “good mood” or a “bad mood.” Long-term highs and lows in mood, however, are classified as mood disorders. Thanks to advances in medical research and a better understanding of the brain, mood disorders are very treatable. Today, people who are living with mood disorders have more options for treatments that can provide lasting results so the individual can live a more normal life. Mood Disorders is just one book in the comprehensive Behavioral Disorders series. Each book is packed with valuable information on behavioral disorders like anxiety, depression, mood disorders and more.

The symptoms of schizophrenia vary from person to person, and the intensity of these symptoms can differ as well. It is important to understand that experiencing just one of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that a person has schizophrenia. These symptoms often appear with other behavioral disorders and even with other diseases. Only a team of qualified health professionals, working together with data gathered over time, can reach a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia symptoms are usually divided into “positive symptoms” or “negative symptoms.” This doesn’t mean that they are “good” or “bad,” but that they are evident to others (positive) or missing from usual human activity or interaction (negative.) This book provides readers with insight on the causes of and treatments for disorders on the schizophrenic spectrum and also delves into other psychotic disorders. Every book in the Behavioral Disorders series is packed with valuable information regarding
many types of mental health disorders, including personality disorders, eating disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This comprehensive series offers insight into the causes, treatments and outlook for each of these disorders.
