How do I know if I am suffering from a mood disorder?

If you continue to feel down, tearful, or irritable, regardless of what is occurring in your life, that’s a sign something is out of balance. It may be depression or a mood disorder. Dr. Michael Dadson recognizes a mood disorder can zap your energy, motivation, and ability to experience joy and satisfaction. You may find yourself more impatient, quicker to anger, and quicker to break down in tears or exhaustion.

Dr. Mike Dadson will recommend a counseling therapy program specific to your needs to support your recovery.

If you are looking for a registered clinical counsellor (RCC) who has training with a depth of experience in mood disorders and depression counseling, contact Dr. Michael Dadson.
