Mood Disorders

TermDefinitionDefinition 2Definition 3Definition 4
Mood: pervasive and sustained feeling and tone that is experienced internally and that influences a person’s behavior and reception of the world
Affect: external expression of mood
MOOD AND AFFECT ● Normally, we have control of our mood and affect ● Normal in the middle, as you go up the patient can experience hypomania or an expansive elevate mood, they can experience severe mania. ● The bottom of the line they can experience mild to moderate depression, and if there is extremes in low mood or interest, or extreme feelings of sadness, they can experience severe depression.
AFFECT ● Constricted affect ● Blunt affect ● Flat affect ● Labile affect
Constricted affect - clear reduction in the expressive range and intensity of affects
Blunt affect - severe reduction in the intensity of affective expression
Flat affect - lack of signs of affective expression (apathy); patient’s voice may be monotonous and the face may be immobile
Labile affect - repeated, rapid, and abrupt shifts
MOOD DISORDERS ● Group of clinical conditions characterized by a loss of emotional control and subjective experience of great distress or social and occupational dysfunctions
Bipolar and related disorders ■ Bipolar I disorder ■ Bipolar II disorder ■ Cyclothymic disorder
Depressive disorders ■ Major depressive disorder ■ Persistent depressive disorder
Majority of mental illnesses worldwide and the Philippines would be coming from, respectively: ○ anxiety (5.7%), (3.2%)

Majority of mental illnesses worldwide and the Philippines would be coming from, respectively: ○ Bipolar disorder (0.4%), (0.3%)
Majority of mental illnesses worldwide and the Philippines would be coming from, respectively: ○ Schizophrenia (0.3%), (0.3%)
Majority of mental illnesses worldwide and the Philippines would be coming from, respectively: ○ Eating disorders (0.2%), (0.1%)
Proportion of males versus females in mental disorders (2021) ○ Majority of mental disorders are more common in women ■ In bipolar disorders, they are somewhat equal
people died by suicide in 2021: ● According to WHO, more than 720,000
3 Major forms of bipolar disorder ● Bipolar I ● Bipolar II ● Cyclothmia
Mood States: ● Severe Depression At least 2 weeks of hopelessness, apathy, decreased appetite, insomnia
Mood States: ● Mild/Moderate Depression Similar to severe depression but not as long lasting or debilitating
Mood States: ● Normal Moods may change from day to day but not in a way that interferes with life
Mood States: ● Hypomania 4 days of unusually elevated mood, less need for sleep, distractibility, inflated self-esteem
Mood States: ● Mania or Mixed Mania At least a week of even greater mania; mixed states show signs of both mania and depression
Unipolar depression - no episodes of hypomania or mania
Black line is the normal or euthymic mood, and the blue part is the depression.
Bipolar II - There can be episodes of hypomani, 4 days of unusually elevated mood, less need for sleep, distractibility, inflated self-esteem, but it doesn’t lead to a marked or significant impairment in functioning
Bipolar I - at least a week of even greater mania; mixed states show signs of both mania and depression
Bipolar disorder ○ Lifetime prevalence ■ Bipolar I: 0.4-1.6% ■ Bipolar II: ~0.5%
Bipolar disorder ○ Annual incidence: <1%
MDD ○ Highest lifetime prevalence: 5-17% (average: 12%)
MDD ○ Annual incidence: 1.59% ■ Female: 1.89% ■ Male: 1.10%
GENDER ● Bipolar disorder ○ M= F ■ Manic episodes more common in men ■ Depressive episodes more common in women
GENDER ● MDD ○ 2x in women than in men ■ Hormonal changes, effects of childbirth, differing psychosocial stressors, learned helplessness
AGE ● Bipolar disorder ○ Onset: childhood to 50 years ■ Mean age - 30 vears
AGE ● MDD ○ Onset: 20 to 50 years ■ Mean age - 40 years ■ Increasing incidence in <20 years due to alcohol and substance use
MARITAL STATUS ● MDD and bipolar disorder ○ No close interpersonal relationships, divorced or separated
Individuals with mood disorders are at an increased risk of having comorbid psychiatric illnesses
Individuals with substance use disorders and anxiety disorders also have an increased risk of comorbid mood disorder
Between 50-70% of eating disorder patients have a lifetime history of major depressive disorder.
Concurrent depression is present in 13% of patient with panic disorder.
Substance abuse disorder are present in 32% of patients with depressive disorders.
Depression arises as a consequence of a disturbance of one or more of the biogenic amine neurotransmitters.
A relative deficit in norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine is responsible for the symptoms of depression
The biogenic amine hypothesis postulates that the changes in mood (possibly linked to a deficit in 5-HT), deficit in drive and motivation (possibly linked to DA and NE) are the results of hypoactivity of these neurotransmitters.
Alterations of Hormonal Regulation ○ Lasting alterations in neuroendocrine and behavioral responses can result from severe early stress ○ Damage to hippocampal neurons
Hypercortisolemia Increased HPA activity
NOREPINEPHRINE ● Correlation between the downregulation of p-adrenergic receptors and clinical antidepressant responses. ● There is accumulating evidence that the NE system modulates drive and motivation. ● Effectiveness of SNRIs
SEROTONIN ● The serotonergic system modulates impulsiveness and mood ● Effectiveness of SSRis in the treatment of depression ● Depletion of serotonin may precipitate depression
DOPAMINE ● Dopamine activity may be reduced in depression and increased in mania. ● Mesolimbic pathway may be dysfunctional in depression. ● Patients with Parkinson's disease develop depressive symptoms.
Four regions in the regulation of normal emotions ○ Prefrontal cortex ● Anterior cingulate cortex ● Hippocampus ● Amygdala
Prefrontal cortex representation of goals and appropriate responses to obtain these goals
Left PFC: goal-directed or appetitive behaviors
Right PFC: avoidance behaviors and inhibition of appetitive pursuits
Anterior cingulate cortex point of integration of attentional and emotional inputs
Hippocampus learning and memory including fear conditioning
Amygdala processing novel stimuli of emotional significance and coordinating or organizing cortical response
FUNCTIONAL BRAIN IMAGING ● Positron emission topography (PET) findings
Mania ○ Decreased right anterior brain metabolism and relative increase in dominant hemispheric activity
Depression ○ Decreased left anterior brain metabolism and relative increase in nondominant hemispheric activity
MOOD DISORDERS GENETIC FACTORS ● Family Studies ○ 1 parent has a mood disorder: 10- ○ 25% risk ○ Both parents are affected: 2x the risk ○ The more family members are affected, especially 15t degree relatives, the greater the risk
MOOD DISORDERS GENETIC FACTORS ● Twin Studies ○ Concordance rate: ■ Monozygotic twins: 70-90% ■ Dizygotic twins: 16-35%
MOOD DISORDERS PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS ● Life Events and Environmental Stress ○ Stressful life events precede first, rather than subsequent, episodes of mood disorders ○ Stress accompanying the first episode results in long-lasting changes in brain's biology ● Loss of a parent before age 11, loss of a spouse, unemployment, guilt
MOOD DISORDERS PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS ● Personality factors ○ Persons with obsessive-compulsive, borderline and histrionic personality disorders: Higher risk for depression ○ Patients with dysthymic and cyclothymic disorders: At risk of later developing MDD or bipolar I disorder
MOOD DISORDERS PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS ● Psychodynamic Factors in Depression ○ Disturbance in the infant-mother relationship during the oral phase predispose to subsequent depression ○ Depression can be linked to real or imagined object loss ○ Introjection of the departed objects as a defense mechanism to deal with the distress connected with the object's loss ○ Because the lost object is regarded with a mixture of love and hate, feelings of anger are directed towards self
MOOD DISORDERS PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS ● Psychodynamic Factors in Mania ○ Defense against omnipotence ○ Results from a tyrannical superego, which produces intolerable self-criticism that is then replaced by euphoric self-satisfaction
omnipotence ■ Responds to conflict or stressors by acting superior to others, as if one possessed special powers or abilities
MOOD DISORDERS PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS ● Learned Helplessness ○ Loss of self-esteem after adverse external events
MOOD DISORDERS PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS ● Cognitive Theory ○ Depressogenic schemata
Depressogenic schemata altered cognitive perception altered by early experiences

PROGNOSIS: BIPOLAR I DISORDER ● Long-term follow-up study ○ 15% asymptomatic ○ 45% asymptomatic but have multiple relapses ○ 30% in partial remission ○ 10% chronically ill
GOOD PROGNOSTIC FACTORS ● Short duration of manic episodes ● Advanced age of onset ● Few suicidal thoughts ● Few coexisting psychiatric or medical problems
POOR PROGNOSTIC FACTORS ● Poor pre-morbid occupational status ● Alcohol dependence ● Psychotic features ● Depressive features ● Poor pre-morbid occupational status ● Alcohol dependence ● Psychotic features ● Depressive features
COURSE & PROGNOSIS: BIPOLAR II DISORDER ● Course and prognosis have just begun to be studied ● Preliminary data
