Mental health issues that affect an individual’s emotional state in which they experience periods of extreme happiness, sadness, or both are known as mood disorders. At some point, over 20% of adults in the U.S. will experience a mood disorder. The World Health Organization projected in a 2008 publication that major depression, the third leading cause of the global disease burden at that time, would rank first by the year 2030. Currently, clinicians are significantly challenged when diagnosing and managing these affective disorders due to variations in patient presentation, the unpredictable prognosis of mood disorders, and the inconsistency of patient response to treatment. With the projected growth of disease burden, clinician capacity to diagnose and prescribe effective treatments will be strained even further.
