Asia’s Best Mood Disorder Treatment in Thailand
Start Living Your Best Life Now

We all experience fluctuating emotions. Life is full of ups and downs, and that naturally affects the way we feel. But while people who are emotionally balanced can move on from disappointments and setbacks in an appropriate amount of time, for people with mood disorders, emotional balance seems like a state that’s all but impossible to reach.

Mood disorders entail far more than occasional unpleasant emotions. They are chronic conditions that require professional treatment to overcome. The good news is, The Dawn offers comprehensive mood disorder treatment in Thailand that can help you learn to manage your mood so you can feel in control of your life once again.

Types of Mood Disorders

“Mood disorder” refers to all types of depression and stress-related disorders, including:

MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER

Major depression is characterised by persistent sadness and recurrent severe depressive episodes.

SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER (SAD)

This type of depression is associated with seasonal change, with depression symptoms becoming more apparent in fall and winter.

PERSISTENT DEPRESSIVE DISORDER

Also known as dysthymia, this chronic disorder causes sufferers to experience depression symptoms for years.

BIPOLAR I AND II DISORDERS

Bipolar I involves manic episodes; bipolar II involves depressive episodes and hypomania – many bipolar people experience both.

ADJUSTMENT DISORDER

Adjustment disorder is a disproportionate and lasting reaction to a life-changing event. Signs include depression symptoms, anxiety and withdrawal from daily activities.

ANXIETY

Anxiety, to a degree, is a normal part of human life. But persistent or severe anxiety can develop into a disorder and progress to the point of interfering with your ability to function.

POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD)

Adverse reactions to trauma can develop into PTSD. This debilitating disorder often affects veterans, sexual abuse victims and survivors and witnesses of violence.

PANIC DISORDER

Panic disorder is marked by frequent panic attacks, which can include symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pains and irregular heartbeat – and ultimately lead to longer-term health problems.

BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER (BPD)

People with BPD may display sudden and intense mood swings, extreme fear of abandonment and distorted self-image. These behaviours can be hard to identify as a disorder, and often lead to relationship issues.

SUICIDAL IDEATION

Suicide is responsible for 1.4 percent of all deaths worldwide. Factors like a history of self-harm and the tendency to act on suicidal feelings are predictors of suicide. But its main causes are disorders like depression, addiction, trauma and mood disorders – which is why it’s vital to treat these problems before they progress to a more critical stage.

Signs and Symptoms of Mood Disorders

Mood disorders can be caused by chemical imbalances in your brain, which are usually genetically inherited. They can also be triggered by events like divorce or the death of a family member, which can significantly disrupt your life. Mood disorders like bipolar can leave you swinging dramatically back and forth between low (depressed) and high (manic) states. Managing these can be incredibly distracting from the larger-picture demands of your life.

Manic symptoms include:

  • Irritability
  • Overconfidence in your abilities
  • Increased rate of speech
  • Scattered trains of thought
  • Inability to focus on one idea or task
  • Reckless behaviour (including gambling and sexual behaviour)

Depressive symptoms include:

  • Unexplained physical pains like headaches and stomach aches
  • Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed
  • Loss of appetite or disordered comfort eating
  • Excessive sleeping and lethargy
  • Restlessness or sleep disorders
  • Excessive crying
  • Hopelessness
  • Low self-esteem
  • Poor concentration
  • Impaired decision-making
  • Intense guilt and shame

* Bipolar disorder entails both manic and depressive symptoms.

Substance abuse and environmental factors may cause or worsen mood disorders. If you use substances to numb your pain or self-medicate, this behaviour can quickly escalate into an addiction. If you have a mood disorder, the best course of action is to seek professional treatment before symptoms become dangerously severe.

Why The Dawn is the Best Thailand Mood Disorder Treatment Centre

At The Dawn’s Thailand mood disorder treatment facility we are known for our small, community feel that helps clients feel accepted, at ease and able to share their experiences with others.
