What Causes Mood Disorder While Treating Anxiety And OCD?
I have been diagnosed as generalized mood disorder. First is this bipolar. I have also always had high anxiety and lately have been ocd. I am on lamictal and Cymbalta but lately they don t seem to be working. I am mainly on the Cymbalta for nerve pain in my feet. I go to see my dr. in a week but thought I would see what you have to say about this.TY.

Hello,
Many factors contribute to mood disorders. They are likely caused by an imbalance of brain chemicals. Life events (such as stressful life changes) may also contribute to a depressed mood. Mood disorders also tend to run in families.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Monish De, Oncologist
