Mood Diary - template or App
Hi,
Through my therapy with a new psychologist, she has recommended that I keep a Mood Diary -hard copy or via an App, doesn't matter.
She has provided some examples.
but I thought I'd ask my Forum Family, hoping they have some effective recommendations that have worked for them.
TIA, x

Re: Mood Diary - template or App
@WIP My husband Mr Darcy filled out a mood chart which I think I got from the Black Dog website. It gave a mood rating of +/- 5 and an anxiety and irritability rating of 0-3. I cannot stress how valuable this was particularly when he was coming off crisis meds and it clearly showed mood stability with a change in class of medication. I was able to use this chart to advocate strongly for him in relation to having the least restrictive medication regimen.
To my mind a mood chart is the psychiatric equivalent of a blood test.

Thank you @Former-Member
I'll check out the Black Dog website. My psyche did provide some suggestions, but to also as my SANE family, as they may know of ones that worked for them. Thanks again @Former-Member
