Dr. Roman Ostrovsky, a Board-Certified Psychiatrist with over 30 years of experience, offers comprehensive psychiatric and therapeutic care for individuals struggling with mood disorders. His unique approach blends medical expertise with compassionate psychotherapy to create lasting change.
What Is a Mood Disorder?
A mood disorder is a mental health condition marked by persistent changes in mood that interfere with daily life, relationships, work, and self-esteem. These are more than occasional mood swings—they are enduring patterns of emotional dysregulation.
Common types of mood disorders include:
-
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) – Ongoing sadness, fatigue, hopelessness, and loss of interest
-
Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) – Chronic, low-level depression lasting two years or more
-
Bipolar I and II Disorders – Mood cycles that alternate between depression and mania or hypomania
-
Cyclothymic Disorder – Milder but persistent mood fluctuations over time
-
Mood Disorders Due to a Medical Condition or Substance Use – Mood symptoms tied to physical illness or medications
Signs You May Be Struggling with a Mood Disorder
If these symptoms resonate, seeking treatment can help you regain clarity, stability, and a sense of control.
How Dr. Ostrovsky Helps Individuals with Mood Disorders
Dr. Ostrovsky specializes in treating individuals who have not responded well to conventional treatment or who feel misunderstood in traditional therapy settings. His integrative method focuses on both symptom relief and the deeper emotional patterns behind mood instability.
Treatment may include:
-
Psychiatric Evaluation and Diagnosis – A clear, accurate understanding of your experience
-
Medication Management – When appropriate, Dr. Ostrovsky can prescribe and monitor medications that stabilize mood and improve functioning

Psychotherapy – Evidence-based therapies including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and emotional regulation

​
This approach is always personalized—never one-size-fits-all.
