Mood disorders involve disturbances in emotions that cause discomfort and impair functioning. Depression is characterized by sadness and withdrawal, while mania involves elevated mood and hyperactivity. Mood disorders can be unipolar, involving only depression, or bipolar, involving both manic and depressive episodes. Depression is more common than mania and affects females more than males. Risk of recurrence increases with each mood episode. Treatment involves medication, psychotherapy, and electroconvulsive therapy. Suicide is often associated with mood disorders and involves intentional self-harm as an escape from psychological pain. Risk factors include depression, substance abuse, and communication of suicidal intent.

Editor's Notes
- At least 15% of the population will suffer from a mood disorder at some time… at any one time 12-17% of the population suffers from depression ? Depression is a persistent problem that is likely to recur. Depression is more than just a sad mood “people who are depressed [may] suffer from slowed thought processes and impairments in memory that can interfere with their functioning. Women are twice as likely to suffer from depression (found to be true in 30 countries over a period of 40 years) The prevalence of depression is increasing worldwide.
