Are you sure they don't mean emotionally unstable personality disorder? I've never heard of emotionally unstable mood disorder, so if it's not EUPD I can't really help you. Hopefully other people will know more.

I think you mean 'Emotionally unstable personality Disorder'. It's the term used from the ICD 10 whereas in the States they follow the DSM and there its called Borderline Personality Disorder. Basically you have to fit 5 out of 9 symptoms of the criteria to be diagnosed with borderline. No borderline is ever the same as the criteria is so vast that that alot of people fit into it. From the top of my head the criteria is:
1) inappropriate anger
2) avoid real or perceived abandonment
3)selfharm gestures(do not include suicide here)
4) suicidal gestures
5) impulsivity
6)

Sorry I can't remember all of them and I'm on my phone. But I found a site which would explain. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borde...ality_disorder

I think it's another term for, or at least very similar to, Borderline Personality Disorder. Which is quite a broad disorder (it's what mental health professionals have suggested I have), but the interwebs has a lot of good and informative resources for it. :)

Ah thankyou ever so much, i'll have a look at that link, i did mean the other one, it's confusing trying to remember what the doctors tell me, they have a long name for everything, off to do some research on the interwebs, thanks again x
