In psychology, mood is defined as an emotional state, which is different from emotions or feelings. There are only two types of moods, which are positive and negative moods or sometimes referred to as good or bad mood. There are as well mood disorders that we want to prevent since a long term bad mood could lead to pathological conditions. For instance, clinical depression and bipolar disorders are considered mood disorders.

It is also known that negative is associated with depression, anxiety, aggression, low self-esteem, stress, and decreased sexual arousal.
