Our Mood Disorder Treatment Centre in Thailand
Our person-centred, trauma-informed approach understands that mood disorders develop from genetic predisposition and experiences, including trauma, stress, or major life changes that lead to ongoing patterns of unstable or overwhelming emotions.
To give you the best chances for lasting stability, we support you to address the underlying factors that trigger and sustain your mood disorder symptoms.
When you arrive, you will receive a personalised treatment plan guided by our Treatment Roadmap, which takes you through carefully structured phases designed to help you stabilise mood swings, develop effective coping strategies, and build lasting emotional balance.
Away from the stressors and triggers of daily life, our calm, therapeutic environment gives you the space and support needed to focus entirely on your recovery.

Personalised Mood Disorder Treatment at The Dawn Thailand
Your recovery journey at The Dawn begins with a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs and guided by our Treatment Roadmap. We will take you through structured phases that help you manage mood episodes, address their root causes, and build the foundation for lasting emotional balance.
Comprehensive Assessment and Stabilisation
Weeks 1 to 2
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your mood disorder history, including the frequency and severity of your symptoms, along with any triggers or traumatic experiences that may be contributing to your condition.
We also identify any co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or substance use.
This comprehensive assessment enables us to design a personalised treatment plan that addresses your immediate challenges and their root causes, setting the stage for long-term recovery.
Managing Your
Presenting Symptoms
Weeks 2 to 5
Next, we focus on providing you with practical tools for managing difficult symptoms and equipping you with strategies to maintain emotional balance in daily life.
Therapies include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thought patterns that trigger or worsen symptoms
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to strengthen awareness of thoughts and emotions and build resilience against recurring symptoms
- Wellness Programme including therapeutic activities that support mood regulation and overall wellbeing
If substance use has developed as a way to cope with symptoms, we provide integrated dual diagnosis treatment with onsite medical supervision, ensuring both conditions are addressed together.
Addressing
Root Causes
Weeks 5 to 12
This critical phase targets the deeper trauma and experiences that contribute to your mood, promoting genuine healing rather than symptom management alone.
Therapies include:
- Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) to process traumatic experiences that may contribute to or intensify symptoms
- Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories and support mood stability
What other types of mood disorders do you treat?
We treat a wide range of mood disorders at The Dawn, including:
- Bipolar I and II Disorders: Bipolar I involves manic episodes, while bipolar II involves depressive episodes and hypomania. Many people experience both.
- Major Depressive Disorder: Persistent sadness with recurring severe depressive episodes.
- Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Depression linked to seasonal changes, often worse in fall and winter.
- Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): Long-term depression symptoms lasting for years.
- Adjustment Disorder: Ongoing depressive or anxious reactions to a major life change.
- Anxiety Disorders: When worry and fear become persistent and interfere with daily life.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Severe stress reactions following trauma such as abuse, violence, or combat.
- Panic Disorder: Repeated panic attacks with symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and rapid heartbeat.

Inpatient vs Outpatient Mood Disorder Rehab
Inpatient mood disorder rehab offers comprehensive and uninterrupted care that outpatient sessions cannot provide. At The Dawn, all aspects of your treatment, from specialised therapy and psychiatric support to wellness programs and community connections are coordinated within our facility, allowing you to dedicate yourself fully to recovery without managing complex treatment schedules and different providers.
Inpatient – Removes you from daily stressors and triggers, creating a controlled environment where you can focus completely on learning to manage your symptoms.
Outpatient – Leaves you exposed to the same stressors and triggers that can affect your mood while you try to balance treatment with everyday responsibilities.
Inpatient – Speeds your recovery with daily intensive treatment combining therapy and wellness activities.
Outpatient – Slows progress with weekly sessions that become difficult to attend consistently during challenging periods.
Inpatient – Gives you access to all mood specialists and treatments in one location, removing the logistical burden and extra stress of managing multiple providers.
Outpatient – Requires you to coordinate multiple appointments with different providers across various locations, creating extra stress during episodes.
Inpatient – Connects you with others going through similar mood disorder recovery through group therapy, showing that managing this condition is possible and you’re not alone.
Outpatient – Limits you to individual sessions only, leaving you without support from others who understand your mood disorder recovery journey.
