An anxiety disorder is when an individual experiences
            excessive amounts of worry beyond what is normally experienced in everyday life. The
            anxiety typically lasts for 6 or more months before it is considered a disorder. The
            worrying is very exaggerated and sometimes occurs for no reason at
            all.
The term mood disorder refers to several disorders
            including major depression, seasonal affective disorder, mania, and cyclothymia (mild
            form of bipolar disorder). Individuals with these disorders experience moods that are
            more severe than what is normal for everyday life. For instance, in major depression, an
            individual may experience a persistent sad or empty mood and loss of interest in
            activities that he or she once enjoyed.
A delusional
            disorder is characterized by having one or more delusions of thinking that are
            nonbizzare (not unusual). For instance, a person with a delusional disorder might
            continually think that his or her partner is being unfaithful to him or her, when in
            fact, there is no truth to that at all.
