Definition

Mood disorders are a group of diagnoses, which are listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders’ (DSM IV TR) classification system. Mood disorders refer to the disturbance in the person’s mood, which is hypothesized to be the main underlying feature. The classification is known as mood (affective) disorders in ICD 10.

English psychiatrist Henry Maudsley proposed an overarching category of affective disorder. The term was then replaced by mood disorder, as the latter term refers to the underlying or longitudinal emotional state, whereas the former refers to the external expression observed by others.

Two groups of mood disorders are broadly recognized; the division is based on whether a manic or hypomanic episode has ever been present. Thus, there are depressive disorders, of which the best-known and most researched is Major Depressive Disorder, which is also commonly called clinical depression or major depression and bipolar disorder (BD), which was formerly known as manic depression and characterized by intermittent episodes of mania or hypomania, usually interlaced with depressive episodes. However, there are also psychiatric syndromes featuring less severe depression known as dysthymic disorder (similar to, but milder than MDD) and cyclothymic disorder (similar to, but milder than BD).Mood disorders may also be substance-induced or occur in response to a medical condition.
