Women’s Trauma and Mood Disorder Inpatient Program
Did you know? When a traumatic event occurs, those with a predisposition may be more likely to experience symptoms of a mood disorder. Symptoms of trauma and mood disorders can overlap, sometimes making it difficult to diagnose or know what to treat first. Understanding how trauma and mood disorders are related can help patients better navigate their path to wellness.
