A Mood Chart is a simple tool that people diagnosed with Mood Disorders such as Bipolar Disorder, Major Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Schizo affective disorder use from time to time, for tracking their symptoms and Affect mood level.
With the K.I.S.S (keep – it- simple-stupid) attitude in mind, a mood chart that can be made to meet any personal symptoms and then taken to to a doctor and therapist.
Why keep a mood chart?
Mood charts can give a consumer and his/her professionals a better idea of the cycling, symptoms and possible triggers of symptoms over a long period of time. Thus a mood chart is a tool for personal awareness and an aid for a doctor who is prescribing treatment.

Great tools — thanks for posting, Chris!
A K.I.S.S. mood chart was one of the ways my psychiatrist and I figured out I have bipolar disorder. They’re invaluable.
Looks like we have some things in common. I blog about how my mindfulness practice is helping me heal from an eating disorder. I’m having springtime difficulties with hypomania and depression, though, so that’s been more of a focus lately.
I’m glad I found your blog in the forums.
the good thing about mindfulness is its free, although a lot of work and dedication.
Thanks for your comment.
As for mood charts, I hope have a simple hourly mood chart posted tomorrow, for people with rapid cycling, or quickly shift moods.
