Depression, Anxiety and Stress
Depression, anxiety and stress are common mental health challenges we face in our daily lives. However, if the condition persists, it can develop into a mood disorder.
Mood disorders are a group of mental health conditions that primarily affect a person's emotional state. These disorders can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.
Some common types are depression disorders, anxiety disorders, and bipolar disorder. At Aloe Mind, we can diagnose mood disorders through our registered clinical psychologists.
