The sad fact is that only a few patients with mood disorders seek professional help for fear of embarrassment or ridicule. Most of these individuals are diagnosed with a mood disorder when seeking help for another medical disorder. Today, mood disorders account for a large portion of health care costs. Many individuals do not want to be stigmatized. These individuals usually ask for expensive and unnecessary tests to look for another cause that may account for their symptoms. Many individuals go through unnecessary therapies for physical disorders which do not exist, whilst the mood disorder remains undiagnosed and untreated.
