Doc Talk: The difference between a bad mood and depression

Brittany Aguirre

Welcome back to Doc Talk — a regular feature that takes you on a virtual trip to the doctor’s office. This week’s topic is so important because moms often deal with mood fluctuations and it’s so important to know when a “bad mood” turns into something more serious which needs medical treatment. As we all know, the whole family suffers when a mother is not feeling well or is struggling with a case of “blues” that won’t seem to go away on its own.

In the video below, physician assistant Brittany Aguirre tells us the difference between a passing phase of the blues and a case of depression.
