Diagnosis is an integral part of treating a mental health condition, but sometimes finding the correct one can be a challenging process. In this session we will focus on how mood disorder diagnoses are made, factors that lead to misdiagnosis, and ways peers can take an active role in their mental health care.

At the end of this session, the participant will be able to:
- Explain how mood disorders are diagnosed.

- Understand common mood disorder misdiagnoses.

- Name at least two ways to take an active role in your treatment.
