, Abstract
Mood disorders stand out as among one of the largest classes of mental illnesses and
are understood by an individual's dysfunction in the way of affective regulations and its mode
of behavior regulation. Notably, some of the most continous mood disorders range from
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Bipolar Disorder to Persistent Depressive Disorder
(PDD). The primary focus of this paper is to review the disorders on the prevalence and
existence of DSM-5 criteria, symptoms, comorbidity, and treatment options. It highlights the
necessity for early diagnosis, evidence-based interventions, and more profound research to
optimize treatment efficacy. Ideally, through this, the clinicians will be able to see the
conditions under which they can work to enhance their patient's health status.

Mood disorders are one of the subtypes of psychiatric disorders that include Major
Depressive Disorder (MDD), Bipolar Disorder, and Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD).
The disorders impact people's feelings and cognitive thought processes and influence hugely

that interfere with patients functioning (American Psychiatric Association, 2022). There has
been much interest in exploring mood disorders, and it has been due to their high incidence,
severe illness burden, and wide array of treatments. This paper stresses the necessity of
integration and effective management based on the evidence used to assemble diagnostic
criteria.
