Teen Moods (“TM”) is an international community of teenagers and young adults dealing with depression and mood-related issues. Born in June of 2002, the Teen Moods’ community is one built on the relationships between members as they communicate with one another for guidance and support through the trying times in life. The administration of TM believes in providing readily available online communication and sharing tools for those who seek them. We strive to have this website available to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Teen Moods is not staffed by counseling or therapy professions or doctors. This website can not (nor can any members or visitors on it) and does not offer any official diagnosis, treatment, or support of any kind of any mental or personality disorders, diseases, disabilities, or related issues. Teen Moods is an electronic bulletin board system/online peer discussion group that serves only as a medium to allow communications between those who wish to discuss such issues. Although great effort is employed to monitor the community for misuse, Teen Moods is not responsible for the information communicated by it's members through the community-driven open forum/bulletin board systems it provides.
