, Chapter 5: mood disorders
Moods: longer feeling not really directed at anything.
Emotions: state directed at something or someone, shorter than a mood.
In general, women are more prevalent to develop a mood disorder than in men.
Feeling theory of moods: moods are raw feelings, feeling sad already is a mood. These
simple feelings also make up the basic emotions, but then an extra idea about someone or
something is added.
Dispositional theory of moods: mood generates cognitions and mood-congruent appraisals.
- being in a sad mood appraising situation as uncontrollable.
- being in an angry mood appraising situation as threatening.
Major depressive disorder:

- loss of pleasure or interest (anhedonia)
- loss of energy
- sleeping problems
- psychomotor retardation
- different eating/weight system

Persistent depressive disorder:
When there is no recovery of MDD, you are diagnosed with dysthymia, also persistent
depressive disorder.

Bio-psycho-social models: explaining origin and development of disorders
biological: genetic facts and heritable symptoms
37% of depression is explained by heritability
90% of bipolarity is explained by heritability
psychological: personal characteristics might hold back or accelerate developing a disorder,
for example if you are a really neurotic person, you develop OCD easier.
social: factors in your environment like your family and friends can change how you cope
with your problems.
