Question 1

what are effects of colors on mood?

Accepted Answer

Colors and mood: Bright colors elevate mood, dark colors depress mood.

Question 2

i need advice on dealing with someone's moods?

Accepted Answer

You're a good friend: Dealing with someone who has changeable moods can be very challenging; you are very kind to want to know how best to help. You need to walk the fine line of being supportive without enabling: avoid confrontation, offer to do something you know the person likes, offer to talk, be caring. Don't dig into the cause and question the person.But you need to walk away, without guilt, when it gets too much

Question 3

what is a mood stabilizer?

Accepted Answer

Mood stabilizer: Mood stabilizing medications are often needed for bipolar or schizoaffective disorder, conditions where mood lability causes big problems.  Medicines like lithium, plus anticonvulsants such as depakote, lamictal, and topomax are in this category and can help greatly. The idea is not to eliminate all mood changes, but to prevent mania and depression -- very painful and personally disruptive states.

Question 4

i'm in a bad mood some time?

Accepted Answer

We all have bad: Moods from time to time. If it happens every once in a while, that's normal. If it occurs frequently, you may want to consider speaking with a therapist to determine why you are feeling down. Talking about our negative feelings doesn't increase them, it actually relieves the tension and makes room for more positive moods.

Question 5

how to control a sexual mood?

Accepted Answer

Whose? Why?: Is this about you or someone else? It is to wait for a more appropriate situation or is there none. So much depends on the details. It may be that good advice is to relax about it - or to find a therapist to avoid criminal charges! As a simple 1st step see if distraction works.

Question 6

how effective is sam-e for mood?

Accepted Answer

Maybe.: There has been some studies of the use of sam-e for depression. They postulate that it increases the amount of serotonin and dopamine.  Some patients have used this for osteoarthritis and depression and the anecdotal  reports are mostly positive. I still have questions whether because of the relief of pain, the depression improved or vice-versa or both.

Question 7

how does a mood change during puberty?

Accepted Answer

Mood Swings: Mood swings are typical during puberty for both boys and girls.  However, the degree by which one's mood changes all depends on the individual.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Good morning: Good morning sir.  No medical advice or treatment can be offered without parental consent according to current state laws in place governing telemedicine consultations.  We ask that a parent or guardian open an account as your proxy and that way any question can be asked and responded to on your behalf.  Have a great day wherever you're at.  It's snowing like crazy and bone chilling cold here!

Question 9

are there mood disorders only women get?

Accepted Answer

Sort of: All major mood disorders occur in both sexes with a slightly higher percentage in women.   A form of depressed mood that only occurrs in women would be pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder which occurs starting a week before menses.  This is classified as being different from being "pre-menstrual"  the other disorder would be depressed mood related to menopause.

Question 10

what are reasons for dramatic mood changes?

Accepted Answer

Dramatic life?: I suppose there are times in some lives when circumstances are so volatile that you can have dramatic mood changes for good reasons. But, if that is not the case, it is a mood disorder - sounds like cyclothylmic at least, and perhaps bipolar disorder. If you are not living in an extreme situation, talk with a therapist to understand what's happening.
