What is a mood chart for?

Affective disorders are mainly characterised by 2 factors

– the occurrence of fluctuating symptoms and

– their temporal course.

These factors, which are relevant for diagnosis, can be systematically and ideally represented in a mood chart.

A chart can also indicate whether or not you are dealing with a depressed mood, so-called “blips”, or a genuine depressive episode.

Individual affective symptoms will be documented daily by you and a significant total value will be presented.

Recognize Episodes and Mood Patterns:

The visual representation of affective episodes and moods, as well as factors relevant to the illness such as changes in medication, life events, psychotherapy and positive activities can enable you to recognise the connection between symptoms and triggering environmental factors or therapeutic effects.

Document and Recognize Early Symptoms:

By continuously recording all symptoms, you will increase your awareness of possible changes in the course of the illness. This makes early recognition and, consequently, a swift therapeutic intervention possible

Ensure an Optimal Treatment Result:

As you can optionally share your individual mood chart with your doctor or therapist, they will have a more comprehensive view of the condition, as they will have a better overview of how symptoms develop between therapy sessions.
