Mood Disorder Treatment in Fort Worth
If you have a mood disorder, your general emotional state or mood is distorted or inconsistent with your circumstances and interferes with your ability to function. You may be extremely sad, empty or irritable (depressed), or you may have periods of depression alternating with being excessively happy (mania).
Anxiety disorders can also affect your mood and often occur along with depression.
The most powerful tools for healing include the ability to send the body signals of safety through meditation, diet, movement, restorative sleep and social support. Obtain adequate sunlight exposure, avoiding toxic chemicals and certain OTC and RX meds. Evaluating hypothyroidism as an overlooked cause for depression, nutrient status, gut infections, and HPA-Axis dysregulation will help in assessing the root cause.
