Mood changes are common, but some are drastic and cause intense fluctuations in activity and energy levels. Such changes require medical interventions. Patients with bipolar disorder put their duties, safety, health, and jobs at risk and represent an estimated 5.7 million adult Americans (The Huffington Post, 2014). Major depression is characterized by a long period of sadness. It causes loss of sleep and eating disorders and affects an estimated 14.8 million American adults. The combination of genetic, psychological and environmental factors are likely to cause depression (The Huffington Post, 2014). This information on the prevalence of bipolar disorder and depression was collected by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Mood disorders are common and have devastating outcomes such as suicide, illness, and poor quality of life (Qureshi and Al-Bedah, 2013, p.639). Despite the high prevalence, very few patients respond fully to medical and psychological interventions intended to reduce risk. Approximately thirty to forty percent of depressed patients respond to psychotherapeutic and pharmacological intervention (Qureshi and Al-Bedah, 2013, p.639). As they are common in the population, research and studies have been conducted on how to effectively combat mood disorders. Combinations of medications and therapies have been used in some cases to try to cure mood disorders. Some of the successful interventional activities include light therapy, acupuncture, yoga, sleep deprivation, Rhodiola rosea, and mindfulness therapies (Qureshi and Al-Bedah, 2013, p.639). Mood disorders evolve over time in their symptoms and epidemiological trends, making it difficult to find a lasting conventional cure. Therefore, most patients advocate effective treatment methods. This provides patients with a variety of treatments to choose from based on their financial capabilities and response. Mood disorders are an important topic for the general public around the world. There is a high prevalence of mental disorders worldwide and anyone can be affected. Some people suffer from mood disorders without realizing it. They console themselves by saying that it is a temporary phase. If this goes unchecked for a long time, it can lead to worse conditions, such as major depression. Information about mood disorders allows patients to be aware of their mood changes and when they need medication. This also helps keep the population informed about available medical and non-medical interventions. Therefore, the general public can come together to prevent further spread and result in a healthy population..
