Question

comment on the statement below from Kandel's book.

"Mood disorders are brain diseases that afflict the integrity of the self-that collection of vital emotions, memories, beliefs, and behaviors that shapes each of us as a unique human being. It is precisely because of emotion's role in both our thinking and our feeling - and because we experience shifts in mood everyday- that we have such difficulty identifying and accepting a mood disturbance as potentially abnormal. That same difficulty helps explain why people with mood disorders are frequently stigmatized. To put it simply, despite advances in science and medicine, many people are still inclined to view mood disorders as a personal weakness, as bad behavior, rather than a set of illnesses."
