    Mood disorders, such as depression, are mental health conditions that cause intense emotional highs and lows, affecting your ability to function in daily life. If you've been experiencing prolonged sadness, irritability, extreme mood swings, or loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, an assessment can help you understand what you're going through. Early diagnosis allows you to access the right treatment and regain emotional balance. Without proper assessment, mood disorders can worsen over time, impacting relationships, work, and overall well-being. 

    We are proud to partner with Registered Clinical Psychopathologists whose aims are to identify any underlying anomalous experience, which will help guide the findings and any ongoing treatment pathway.
