Mood Matters
Good Mood Counselling Services in Calgary is our speciality. Can be covered by health benefits.
Your First and Last Mood treatment
Mood disorders are second to heart disease in their ability to cause disability worldwide. Comorbidity, the presence of two mental illnesses simultaneously, results in poorer treatment outcomes compared to treating each illness separate. Times for treatment are longer, moods worsen, high costs are incurred, and dropout rates increase. Accessibility to qualified clinicians to administer evidenced-based treatments designed to treat comorbidity in mood disorders across geographical regions has been limited. Our clinically-driven program, Mood Matters, solves this problem by treating illness simultaneously. Faster treatment rates, lower costs, and less opportunity for relapse now exist.
