Mood disorders refer to illnesses that disrupt mood. Generally, they refer to depressed mood, or to the other extreme, mania-which is a highly elevated (euphoric) or irritable mood. Mood disorders are very common and affect people in all walks of life.
Founded in January 2009, the Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health is part of the Department of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Addressing quality of care and workforce development issues in North Carolina's mental health system, the Center and its clinical programs are supported by a three-year grant from The Duke Endowment, as well as Cross Area Services Program (CASP)
funds. The program operates in conjunction with multiple university, state, and community-based partners.
