title: [Recognition of mood disorders].
abstract: A mood disorder involves lowering or elevation or mood and usually also somatic symptoms associated with anxiety, substance abuse problems or a personality disorder. In addition to diagnoses, the stage and degree of severity of the disorder and the patients' own motivation influence the treatability of the patients. The expectations and hopes of the patients are associated with their life and medical history, social situations and increasingly heterogenous cultural backgrounds. A good and continuous therapeutic relationship can contribute to the treatment motivation and result.
