Track Your Mood
Use the checklist below to help you gauge your emotional well-being. Consistent poor moods can indicate a larger problem in the context of your mental health. By tracking these moods over time (one bad day is not enough!), you may become more aware of the possibility of having an underlying problem. Most mood disorders are treatable; if you feel that you have a mental or emotional disorder you should speak with your health care provider. Taking your checklists to your physician may also help him or her make a diagnosis if you have a medical condition.
