It is important for the PMHNP to have a comprehensive
understanding of mood disorders in order to assess and
accurately formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan for patients
presenting with these disorders. Mood disorders may be
diagnosed when a patient’s emotional state meets the diagnostic
criteria for severity, functional impact, and length of time.
Those with a mood disorder may find that their emotions
interfere with work, relationships, or other parts of their lives
that impact daily functioning. Mood disorders may also lead to
substance abuse or suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and although
they are not likely to go away on their own, they can be
managed with an effective treatment plan and understanding of
how to manage symptoms.
