Peter C. Whybrow discusses his book, “A Mood Apart.” He begins by explaining how he is the director of the Neuropsychiatric Institute at UCLA. He says that 15% of people with severe mood disorders end up committing suicide. He lists several symptoms a person should look for when diagnosing a mood disorder: less emotional interaction, a change in sleeping and eating patterns, and severe high and low moods. Whybrow explains that patients need positive social interaction and attachment to get better. He discusses the importance of informing patients about their illness as they progress. He ends the interview by talking about how seasonal affective disorder affects all people as the seasons change.
