Other Mood Disorders & Psychiatric Conditions

Cyclothymic Disorder

A milder form of bipolar disorder with less severe mood swings — alternating between mild depression and hypomania for extended periods. Early treatment can prevent progression.

Persistent Depressive Disorder

Formerly known as dysthymia — a chronic, long-lasting form of depression that persists for two years or more. Often less severe than major depression but more persistent.

Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder

Severe, recurrent temper outbursts in children and adolescents that are out of proportion to the situation — with persistent irritability between outbursts. Diagnosis requires onset before age 10.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

A pattern of depression that follows a seasonal cycle — most commonly appearing in fall and winter months. Treatment includes light therapy, medication, and therapy.

Adjustment Disorder

An emotional or behavioral response to an identifiable stressor — such as a life change, loss, or major transition. Symptoms are disproportionate to the stressor and cause significant impairment.

Bipolar II Disorder

Characterized by hypomanic episodes alternating with major depressive episodes. Hypomania is less severe than full mania but still significantly impacts functioning and relationships.

Perinatal & Postpartum Mood Disorders

Depression and anxiety that occur during pregnancy or in the first year after childbirth. These are among the most common complications of pregnancy — and they are highly treatable.

Social Anxiety Disorder

Intense, persistent fear of social situations where you may be judged, embarrassed, or scrutinized. Often leads to avoidance that significantly limits work, school, and relationships.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Persistent, excessive worry about everyday events and activities — difficult to control and often accompanied by restlessness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Affects approximately 3% of adults.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Preoccupation with perceived flaws in physical appearance that are not observable or appear slight to others. Often leads to repetitive behaviors like mirror checking and excessive grooming.

Hoarding Disorder

Persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions — regardless of their actual value — leading to clutter that compromises living spaces. Affects approximately 2–3% of adults.

Trichotillomania & Excoriation

Body-focused repetitive behaviors — compulsive hair-pulling (trichotillomania) and skin-picking (excoriation disorder). Often used as a coping mechanism for stress or boredom.

Somatic Symptom & Illness Anxiety

Excessive focus on physical symptoms — such as pain or fatigue — that causes major distress and disruption. Includes illness anxiety disorder (formerly hypochondriasis), where fear of illness is persistent.

Intermittent Explosive Disorder

Recurrent behavioral outbursts — verbal or physical aggression — that are out of proportion to the situation and not premeditated. Outbursts cause significant distress and impairment.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A pattern of angry or irritable mood, argumentative behavior, and defiance toward authority figures — typically diagnosed in children and adolescents. Parent training and therapy are first-line treatments.
