Mood Disorders
Mood Disorders Management
Mood disorders, such as Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder, involve significant disturbances in emotional state that disrupt daily life and functioning. Cyndia Milord-Giordani, PMHNP-BC, specializes in stabilizing these emotional shifts, providing consistent, expert care that aims to restore balance and predictability to your life.
Our treatment is built on a foundation of precise psychiatric evaluation and consistent application of medication management and therapy, all accessible via telehealth.
Development of Emotional Stability
Managing mood disorders requires an accurate diagnosis and a commitment to stability. Following a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, treatment focuses heavily on medication management to stabilize mood chemistry. Simultaneously, psychotherapy helps you identify triggers, recognize early warning signs of mood episodes, and develop skills for emotional regulation. The goal is to minimize the frequency and severity of mood swings, leading to greater functional consistency.
What is the difference between mood disorders and normal mood swings?
Mood disorders involve sustained, severe shifts in emotion that significantly impair functioning, last for an extended period, and are often biologically driven.
Is medication always necessary for mood disorders?
For more severe and chronic mood disorders (like Bipolar Disorder), medication management is often essential for stabilizing brain chemistry and preventing dangerous episodes.
How important is routine and lifestyle in managing mood disorders?
Extremely important. Consistency in sleep, diet, and daily routine is a critical focus of treatment alongside medication and therapy.
Does telehealth compromise the assessment of my mood?
No. Through our detailed virtual sessions, we assess mood, energy, and cognitive patterns just as effectively as in person.
