Discussing mental health issues such as mood and personality disorders can feel confusing, especially regarding many “advanced terms” that describe psychiatric problems. Try googling a mood disorder, and it’s a kitchen sink of issues, potential ailments and remedies. Often, the similarities between certain disorders, assuming many mental health conditions fall under a single category, make you think you may have something you may not.
It’s important to know the differences between these mental disorders, to not only destigmatize the subject and help those struggling put a name — but for potential treatment — to what they’re experiencing.
Mood disorders and personality disorders are often misunderstood mental health conditions. While they may seem similar at first glance, each has distinguishing characteristics. Knowing these differences can bring hope to those struggling with these mental illnesses and a better understanding of the world.

According to MedlinePlus by the National Institutes of Health, a mood disorder affects your day-to-day emotional state regardless of circumstances. Your moods can change quickly, impacting your ability to function and live. Types of mood disorders include:
- Bipolar disorder
- Depressive disorders, including major depressive disorder
- Cyclothymic disorder
- Seasonal affective disorder
- Substance-induced mood disorders
Common symptoms of mood disorders include persistent feelings of sadness and sleep disturbances, in addition to:
- Manic episodes
- Problems focusing
- Impulsive behavior
- Irritability
- Feeling on edge
- Weight changes
- Changes in energy
- Intense emotional highs and lows
What Are Common Mood Disorder Treatment Options?
Treatment options for mood disorders usually include a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Antidepressants, antipsychotics and mood stabilizers are the most common medications for individuals with mood disorders.
Psychotherapy sessions are recommended while taking prescribed medicine to help the person work through underlying issues or behaviors. These sessions typically include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps patients replace harmful thoughts and behaviors with more positive ones and learn effective ways to cope with mood symptoms.

MedlinePlus defines personality disorders as “a group of mental illnesses (that) involve long-term patterns of thoughts and behaviors that are unhealthy and inflexible.” Those with personality disorders often have problems with interpersonal relationships due to an inability to relate to others and situations. Having a personality disorder means you may struggle with two or more of the following:
- Emotional responses
- Relating to others
- Self-perception and perception of others
- Impulse and behavior control
These personality disorders often significantly affect a person’s emotional state and severely affect how they interact with those around them, including family, friends, strangers, employers and colleagues. These negative interactions can affect relationships and lead to intense depressive episodes.
Common types of personality disorders include:
- Borderline personality disorder
- Avoidant personality disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder
- Dependent personality disorder
The symptoms, and thus the diagnosis, of personality disorders, vary. That said, many of these disorders share symptoms, some of which may include the following:
- Fragile or unclear self-image
- Rapidly changing moods, ranging from extreme happiness to major depressive episodes
- Harmful behaviors and impulse control issues
- Suicidal ideation or self-harm
- Fits of rage
- Fear of abandonment
- Unstable personal relationships
What Are Common Personality Disorder Treatment Options?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy. Types of psychotherapy include CBT, dialectical behavior therapy, group therapy, and psychoeducation. Medication can be used, but no specific medications exist.

The defining difference between mood and personality disorders is that while mood disorders have to do with feelings and emotional patterns, personality disorders deal with the way a person interacts and relates to other people.
Determining an underlying personality or mood issue means understanding the differences between behaviors affecting a person’s overall mental health. Diagnosis depends on several criteria, including life events and environmental factors that may have brought about symptoms, which symptoms appear most often and how those symptoms impact someone’s mood or disrupt relationships.
[/fusion_text][fusion_content_boxes layout=”icon-with-title” columns=”1″ heading_size=”2″ iconspin=”no” icon_align=”left” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility”][fusion_content_box title=”Erratic and Impulsive Behavior” linktext=”Read More” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ icon=”fa-angry fas”]Erratic behavior and impulse control issues can be symptoms of mood disorders and underlying personality disorders. However, they’re more commonly seen in those with personality-based mental health conditions.
This symptom is characterized by acting quickly without regard for consequences, often leading to harmful or dangerous behaviors.
[/fusion_content_box][fusion_content_box title=”Major Depression” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ icon=”fa-frown fas”]Major depression is characterized by persistent depression and a long-term lack of interest in hobbies and relationships. A person experiencing major depression may feel guilty, inadequate or even suicidal.
Major depression can be considered a mental illness on its own or a symptom of an underlying mood disorder, such as bipolar disorder or seasonal affective disorder.
[/fusion_content_box][fusion_content_box title=”Manic Episode” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ icon=”fa-rocket fas”]Manic episodes are characteristic of bipolar disorder. When a person experiences mania, they’re energetic and unusually happy or excited, and they often engage in risky or impulsive behaviors.
[/fusion_content_box][fusion_content_box title=”Elevated Mood” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ icon=”fa-laugh-wink far”]A person may feel sad between episodes of elevated mood. While this could simply be indicative of typical mood swings and not severe mood problems, it’s crucial to have a mental health professional investigate any ongoing mood changes, as this could signal an issue such as bipolar or cyclothymic disorder, which have similar symptoms.
[/fusion_content_box][fusion_content_box title=”Racing Thoughts” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ icon=”fa-flag-checkered fas”]Racing thoughts are a common complaint among those with personality disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. These thought patterns move quickly and make it difficult for a person to concentrate. These thought patterns may focus on a single topic, or topics may change frequently.
[/fusion_content_box][fusion_content_box title=”Compulsions” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ icon=”fa-cocktail fas”]Compulsions typically have to do with impulse control problems. They’re characterized as an irresistible urge to carry out an action or behavior, often against a person’s better judgment.
