Home / Mood Disorders Treatment
Mood disorders affect over 21 million American adults and encompass a range of conditions beyond depression and bipolar disorder.
Mood disorders are a category of mental health conditions primarily affecting emotional state. They range from persistent depression to cycles of depression and mania, and include conditions that may not fit neatly into one diagnosis.
DLH Consulting provides expert evaluation to accurately diagnose your specific mood disorder and develop a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan.

We accept most major plans including:
Persistent depressed mood or loss of interest for at least two weeks with significant functional impairment.
Chronic low-grade depression lasting at least two years.
Cycling between depressive and manic or hypomanic episodes.
Chronic mood fluctuations with hypomanic and depressive symptoms below the threshold for full episodes.
Severe mood symptoms in the week before menstruation that significantly interfere with daily life.
Severe, chronic irritability and frequent temper outbursts in children and adolescents.
Accurate diagnosis requires a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified provider. Many mood disorders share overlapping symptoms, so a detailed review of your history, symptom pattern, and family history is essential to make the right diagnosis and choose the right treatment.
Yes. Mood and anxiety disorders frequently co-occur. Approximately 50% of people with depression also have an anxiety disorder. Your provider will evaluate for all relevant conditions and develop a treatment plan that addresses all of them.
For mild conditions, therapy and lifestyle modifications may be sufficient. For moderate to severe mood disorders, medication is typically recommended — often in combination with therapy. Bipolar disorder almost always requires medication.
PMS involves physical and emotional symptoms in the week before menstruation. PMDD is more severe — causing significant mood symptoms (depression, anxiety, irritability, hopelessness) that substantially interfere with daily functioning. PMDD is treatable with SSRIs and hormonal interventions.
Yes. All recognized mood disorders are covered by major insurance plans under mental health parity laws.
