Recent findings from genetics and brain-imaging studies support the idea that the DSM disorders overlap. Disorders are the product of shared risk factors that lead to abnormalities. These facts support a broader, more comprehensive approach that allows for more accurate and personalized treatment.
The mood spectrum runs from psychotic depression to psychotic mania and the varying degrees of depression and mania on that spectrum. In the manic phase, the individual has an abnormal elevated arousal state. As such, they could be feeling euphoric, hyperactive, energetic, or irritable. They could also have frenzied speech, delusions, and a decreased need for sleep. Depressive phases manifest in form of deep sadness, low mood, despair, and lethargy. Sufferers feel ashamed, hopeless, worthless, and unlovable. They sleep during the day and experience insomnia at night.
