The document discusses mood and mood disorders. It defines mood as a relatively long-lasting emotional state that differs from emotions in being less specific and intense. Moods generally have a positive or negative valence, such as being in a good mood or bad mood. Unlike emotions, moods often last for hours or days. Long-term disturbances of mood like depression and bipolar disorder are considered mood disorders. The document provides suggestions for overcoming mood disorders, such as breaking large tasks into smaller chunks, not comparing oneself to others, engaging in concentrating activities, exercising, being assertive, focusing on the present moment, and watching funny movies.
