Mood Disorders are mental health conditions characterised by persistent disturbances in emotional state, including depression and bipolar disorder. Symptoms may affect mood, energy, sleep, concentration, behaviour and daily functioning. Assessment involves reviewing clinical history, symptom patterns, risk factors and the impact on an individual's wellbeing. Treatment may include psychological therapies, medication and ongoing psychiatric support. Independent Mood Disorders Expert Witnesses can provide specialist opinions on diagnosis, treatment decisions, risk assessment, psychiatric injury, causation, prognosis and standards of care in Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury cases.
