Mood Disorders Series-Disabled Legend John Denver

Denver's career fell somewhere in the 80's and he found himself without a wife. His songwritting and creative music before the 80's were inspired mostly by the feelings of depression he already had throughout his life, and alcoholism had been strongly with him during the composition of most of his songs. He was using those emotions to write some of the best country songs there was at the time, many wish he was still among us and the music he contributed to the world will forever remain in the hearts of country music lovers.

The birth of her child had caused her to suffer from severe postpartum depression, it was suddenly at the point where seeing a window would give her the feeling that she had to jump out of her misery. She was suddenly feeling shame and emptiness from the bottom up and would sometimes not even answer to her crying baby. Fortunately her depression did eventually come to an end with her motherly instincts present as much as they should.

What Are Mood Disorders?

A mood disorder is a condition whereby the prevailing emotional mood is distorted or inappropriate to the circumstances.

The two major types of mood disorders are Depression or unipolar depression and Bipolar Disorder.

Bipolar I Disorder is a mood disorder that is characterized by at least one Manic or Mixed episode. There may be episodes of Hypomania or Major Depression as well. It is a sub-diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and conforms to the classic concept of manic-depressive illness.

Bipolar II Disorder is a bipolar spectrum disorder that is characterized by at least one hypomanic episode and at least one major depressive episode. It is believed to be underdiagnosed because hypomanic behavior often presents as high-functioning.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is defined as a personality disorder primarily characterized by emotional dysregulation, extreme "black and white" thinking, or "splitting", and chaotic relationships. The general profile of the disorder also typically includes a pervasive instability in mood, interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behaviour.
