Mood Disorders in Children and Adolescents
Childhood Mood Disorders
This module will discuss and review symptoms of childhood and adolescent mood disorders. Mood disorders or affective disorders are conditions that affect a person\u2019s affect, or mood. The American Psychiatric Association\u2019s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), identifies specific symptoms children and adolescents with mood or affective disorders exhibit. These symptoms specify a marked and serious change in mood. Unlike a bad mood a child sometimes experiences, a mood disorder involves intense, difficult-to-manage, and persistent thoughts and feelings. Mental health treatment for youth with mood disorders can be assessed with surveys and statistical analyses.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2022) lists common mental disorders that can be diagnosed in childhood. Their list includes the following disorders with mood affects:
Attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Anxiety
Conduct disorders
Autism
Eating disorders
Many factors can impact or contribute to mood disorders in children and adolescents.
A chemical imbalance in the brain may impact mood disorders. Chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters, such as serotonin or dopamine, are responsible for positive moods. A chemical imbalance can occur on its own or due to other factors.
Environmental factors, such as unexpected life events or long-lasting stress, can contribute to a chemical imbalance.<\/p>\n
Mood disorders could have a genetic component.
Many psychiatric conditions seen in children and adolescents, such as depression and anxiety, are a result of varied genetic and environmental factors (Austin, 2020). A comprehensive evaluation is needed to understand and treat a young person with symptoms of mood disorders.
