Abstract
Mood fluctuations are common during normal daily life as a result of either stressful or pleasant events. However, severe and persistent mood swings that result in psychological distress and behavioural impairment may be symptomatic of an underlying affective disorder. Affective disorders are classified along a spectrum from unipolar depressive disorders to bipolar disorder types II and I.1.
