MOOD

Many forms of depression exist such as: Major Depressive disorder, Dysthmia, Bipolar disorder,  and Cyclothymia.   However, bipolar depression is often misdiagnosed as depression.  Treatment is also different.  It is important to tell Dr. Cavazos how you feel. 

​

Symptoms associated with depressed “lows” may include issues with sleep, concentration, appetite, or   thoughts of hopelessness, helplessness, or suicide.   

​

Symptoms associated with hypomanic of manic "highs" can present with decreased need for sleep, talkativeness, racing thoughts, distractibility.

​

Both can present in the same person at  different points of time.  

Scheduling with Dr. Javen Valerie Cavazos a board certified psychiatrist in San Antonio, Texas helps identifies these different moods and treatment modality than can be individualized for each person.
