We are here to help against Mood Disorders
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
-
Depression is a medical mood disorder that lasts two weeks or longer and can affect sleep, appetite, energy, focus, and motivation.
-
They can show up as fatigue, headaches, stomach issues, irritability, or trouble concentrating, not only sadness.
-
Bipolar disorder includes episodes of depression and episodes of mania or hypomania, not just random mood changes.
-
It can include less need for sleep, fast speech, impulsive decisions, racing thoughts, and feeling unusually confident.
-
Many people improve with therapy, support, healthy routines, and sometimes medication. Early help can reduce how severe episodes become.
-
Mood disorders are common and support exists through friends, family, school counselors, nurses, and medical professionals.
-
Fear of being judged can make people hide symptoms, so kindness and understanding can make it easier to reach out.
-
Reaching out early can prevent things from getting worse. You do not have to wait until you feel overwhelmed.
-
Big changes in sleep, appetite, grades, isolation, hopeless talk, or risk taking are signs to check in and get support.
