Mood Changes in Bozeman: What to Track Before Psychiatric Care
“Mood disorder” is a broad category.
Instead of trying to choose a diagnosis yourself, track:
- mood;
- sleep;
- energy;
- concentration;
- motivation;
- appetite;
- impulsivity;
- functioning.
A timeline can help a provider understand whether symptoms are persistent, episodic, or connected with another factor.
