Description
In psychology, a mood is defined as an emotional state of mind or mental focus. Moods are not the same as emotions or feelings. Moods have either a positive or negative connotation, which is why people are generally described as being in either a "good mood" or a "bad mood." Long-term highs and lows in mood, however, are classified as mood disorders. Thanks to advances in medical research and a better understanding of the brain, mood disorders are very treatable.
