    Here are the facts behind some basic conceptions and misconceptions about mood disorders and the people coping with them.
    1. The mood disorders, major depression and bipolar disorder (manic depression) are rare diseases and affect very few people. FALSE.
    Among the facts and figures available: at least 1 in 5 people will suffer a major depressive episode over the course of a lifetime, usually before the age of 40; more than 2.3 million people in the U.S. have bipolar disorder; 10 million have a depressive disorder. The Center for Mental Health Services in Rockville, MD estimates that 5.4% of all Americans have a serious, on-going mental illness.
    2. Mood disorders are caused by poor parent role-modeling and are a result of the breakdown of the American family because of the Industrial Revolution. Primarily FALSE.

    Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a new method for treating mood disorders.
    http://www.neuropsychology.co.uk/tms/
    Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a potential new treatment for depression. It is currently being tested as a potential antidepressant in a large clinical trial in the South East London area. Information on the trial and this promising new therapy in psychiatry is given below. hat does it involve? A single treatment with TMS (sometimes called rTMS) takes about 20 minutes. However, to receive a full course patients have to attend every weekday for 2 (i.e. 10 treatments). The procedure itself involves a magnetic coil being held over a specific part of the front part of the head. The picture below shows a typical situation. The person being treated is wearing a cloth cap that has marks on it so that the doctor knows exactly where to hold the magnetic coil. The Trial Is Now Open to People With Depression Who Have Been Taking Medications Over an Extended Period (previously they had to have only just started on anti-depressants). here is the trial being run? Treatments are given at an out patient clinic at the Maudsley hospital on Denmark Hill, London. The trials are being coordinated by the following people: Dr Declan McLoughlin, Dr Andrew Mogg, Dr Savitha Eranti, Dr Graham Pluck and Mrs Lee Wilding all of whom work at the Institute of Psychiatry, De Crespigny Park, London.

    PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF mood disorders by David M. Goldstein, MD, Director, mood disorders Program, Georgetown University Medical Center.
    http://www.drada.org/ReferenceShelf/goldstein.html
    THE REFERENCE SHELF
    PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF MOOD DISORDERS by David M. Goldstein, M.D., Director, Mood Disorders Program, Georgetown University Medical Center Effective medical treatments now exist for the full range of mood disorders, from mild depression to severe manic depression. Treatment decisions are based on the severity of the symptoms as well as the type of symptomatology. There are a wide variety of treatments that are now available, but research studies consistently demonstrate that combined psychotherapy and medication treatments produce the best results. The psychotherapy treatments work by helping with the psychosocial and interpersonal adjustment of the individual, whereas the drugs help with the physical and physiologically based symptoms. Psychotherapy seems to help by improving the patient's willingness to continue with the medication treatment, also. These medications have been carefully studied and have to pass rigorous standards by the Food and Drug Administration in order to be released into the marketplace. All available antidepressant prescription medications have been found to be safe and effective and they are not known to be addictive. Medication choice is guided by diagnosis, so prior to the initiation of treatment, care must be taken to accurately diagnose the medical condition that best explains the presenting symptoms. Treatments for depression and manic depression often differ and this is an important distinction. Manic depressive patients treated with antidepressants alone may be at an increased risk for the development of a manic episode.

    Burgess S, Geddes J, Hawton K, Townsend E, Jamison K, Goodwin G. ABSTRACT Order full review View and/or submit comments What's new in this issue Search abstracts ... Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 19 March 2001. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Mood disorders are common, disabling and tend to be recurrent. They carry a high risk of suicide. Maintenance treatment, aimed at the prevention of relapse, is therefore of vital importance. Lithium has been used for some years as the mainstay of maintenance treatment in bipolar affective disorder, and to a lesser extent in unipolar disorder. However, the efficacy and effectiveness of prophylactic lithium therapy has been disputed. Low suicide rates in lithium-treated patients have led to claims that lithium has a specific anti-suicidal effect. If so, this is of considerable importance as treatments for mental disorders in general have not been shown convincingly to be effective in suicide prevention. Objectives: 1. To investigate the efficacy of lithium treatment in the prevention of relapse in recurrent mood disorders. 2. To examine the effect of lithium treatment on consumers' general health and social functioning, its acceptability to consumers, and the side-effects of treatment.3. To investigate the hypothesis that lithium has a specific effect in reducing the incidence of suicide and deliberate self-harm in persons with mood disorders.

    Mood Disorder and Mood Swing Overview
    Mood disorders affect over 10 million Americans every year and are classified as a form of depression. Although most individuals may experience slight mood changes on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, the more advanced forms of mood disorders can develop into bipolar disorder (manic depression) and can have serious mental and physical consequences if left untreated. Research indicates that women are twice as likely to experience mood swings than men. Most women who experience mood changes, do so as a result of pregnancy or post-partum. Mood swings are closely related to Post Partum Depression. Mood swings are characterized by periods, commonly referred to as episodes , of mania and depression. During an episode of mania, one may experience an abnormally elevated mood, irritability, decreased need for sleep, increased talking and racing thoughts. During episodes of depression, one may experience persistent sad and empty moods, loss of interest in activities, feelings of guilt, feelings of worthlessness and physical ailments such as headaches, chronic pain or digestive disorders.
