What is a mood disorder?
Mood disorders are common conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder (manic depression) that affect a person's mental health.
According to a recent study by Statistics Canada, depression, addiction and anxiety afflict almost as many people as heart disease or diabetes , but most sufferers never get help.
