ASIA’S BEST MOOD DISORDER TREATMENT CENTER
START LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE NOW
We all experience fluctuating emotions. Life is full of ups and downs, and that naturally affects the way we feel. But while people who are emotionally balanced can move on from disappointments and setbacks in an appropriate amount of time, for people with mood disorders, emotional balance seems like a state that’s all but impossible to reach.
Mood disorders entail far more than occasional unpleasant emotions. They’re chronic conditions that require professional treatment to overcome. The good news is, The Dawn offers a comprehensive mood disorder treatment that can help you learn to manage your mood so you can feel in control of your life once again.

Signs and Symptoms of Burnout
“Mood disorder” refers to all types of depression and stress-related disorders, including:
MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER
Major depression is characterised by persistent sadness and recurrent severe depressive episodes.
SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER (SAD)
This type of depression is associated with seasonal change, with depression symptoms becoming more apparent in fall and winter.
PERSISTENT DEPRESSIVE DISORDER
Also known as dysthymia, this chronic disorder causes sufferers to experience depression symptoms for years.
BIPOLAR I AND II DISORDERS
Bipolar I involves manic episodes; bipolar II involves depressive episodes and hypomania – many bipolar people experience both.
ADJUSTMENT DISORDER
Adjustment disorder is a disproportionate and lasting reaction to a life-changing event. Signs include depression symptoms, anxiety and removal from daily activities.
ANXIETY
Anxiety, to a degree, is a normal part of human life. But persistent or severe anxiety can develop into a disorder and progress to the point of interfering with your ability to function.
POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD)
Adverse reactions to trauma can develop into PTSD. This debilitating disorder often affects veterans, sexual abuse victims and survivors and witnesses of violence.
PANIC DISORDER
Panic disorder is marked by frequent panic attacks, which can include symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pains and irregular heartbeat – and ultimately lead to longer-term health problems.
BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER (BPD)
People with BPD may display sudden and intense mood swings, extreme fear of abandonment and distorted self-image. These behaviours can be hard to identify as a disorder, and often lead to relationship issues.
SUICIDAL IDEATION
Suicide is responsible for 1.4 percent of all deaths worldwide. Factors like a history of self-harm and the tendency to act on suicidal feelings are predictors of suicide. But its main causes are disorders like depression, trauma and mood disorders – which is why it’s vital to treat these problems before they progress to a more critical stage.
GET HELP WITH DEPRESSION
Signs and Symptoms of Mood Disorders
Mood disorders can be caused by chemical imbalances in your brain, which are usually genetically inherited. They can also be triggered by events like divorce or the death of a family member, which can significantly disrupt your life. Mood disorders like bipolar can leave you swinging dramatically back and forth between low (depressed) and high (manic) states. Managing these can be incredibly distracting from the larger-picture demands of your life. Bipolar disorder entails both manic and depressive symptoms.
Manic symptoms include:
Depressive symptoms include:
Effects of Untreated Burnout
The prolonged stress of being in a state of burnout can lead to a number of problems, such as:
It’s easy to see how the effects of burnout can get out of hand and bleed over onto other areas of your life. Fortunately, however, burnout is highly treatable.
Why The Dawn is the Best Treatment Center for Mood Disorder
At The Dawn, we’re known for our small, community feel that helps clients feel accepted, at ease and able to share their experiences with others. Our clients and staff are one big family – you’ll easily get to know everyone here, and we’re available at any time of day to offer support when you need it. And unlike larger centers that admit large numbers of clients at a time, there are no cliques here. You’ll feel safe to express yourself and form genuine connections in our non-judgmental space.
Why Residential Bipolar Disorder Retreats are the Most Effective Option
Whereas outpatient treatment offers less access to your therapist and support network, in residential treatment, you’ll be completely immersed in your recovery experience. Your usual stresses and distractions will be kept at a distance, allowing you the time and space you need to focus on yourself. And each day will be fully scheduled with wellness-supporting activities, so you’ll have maximum opportunities to advance your personal growth, and minimal time to ruminate on the negative.
Call Us for Free Consultation
The Dawn is staffed with highly skilled and licensed behavioural health professionals. Our personalised wellness programme includes a combination of individual counselling, group therapy and lifestyle changes.
Comprehensive Cognitive Therapy
Our well-rounded treatment approach utilises evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy (MCBT) to help you change negative thought patterns and build a toolkit for managing your mental health in your day-to-day life. If you’re currently taking prescribed meditation, it will be regulated and administered by our medical team.
Complimentary Wellness Services
In addition to psychological counselling, we offer an array of complementary wellness services designed to enhance your treatment process, help you feel well, and prepare you for post-retreat life. Our alternative therapies include:
- Mindfulness meditation
- Spa and massage therapy
- Fitness exercise
- Yoga and pilates
- Art therapy
- Muay Thai
Physical activity and a healthy diet are important factors when it comes to enhancing your brain’s ability to stay happy and think clearly. While you’re here, you’ll receive nutritional counselling and support, and eat a healthy diet of clean, locally sourced foods that boost your brain function and mood.
