Anxiety disorders and mood disorders aren't the same. Mood disorders include all affective disorders including anxiety disorders.
The best answer is yes. In other words, they are a psychological disorder that has a biological or genetic component or predisposition. Any disorder affecting mood is psychological by definition. If it effects your mood then it is having a psychological effect on you. So, that fulfills the first part of the question. In addition, there is evidence that mood disorders are the result of an abnormality in brain chemistry that produces the psychological effect. People with mood disorders are different in the way their brains handle the absorption of the neurotransmitters which effect mood. There is also a lot of evidence that there is a genetic component to all of this, as mood disorders (especially bipolar disorder) does tend to run in families from generation to generation. So, yes. Your answer is Yes.
A family history of mood disorders is one of the strongest predictors of an individual developing a mood disorder. Other factors, such as stress, trauma, and brain chemistry, also play a role in the likelihood of developing a mood disorder.
Behavioral theory posits that mood disorders develop from learned maladaptive behaviors, such as negative reinforcement of depressive symptoms. Cognitive theory suggests that mood disorders arise from maladaptive thought patterns, such as negative self-beliefs and cognitive distortions. Social learning theory highlights how individuals may develop mood disorders through observing and internalizing negative behaviors and thought patterns from others in their environment.
Mood disorders can be caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, biology, environment, and life experiences. Imbalances in brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) such as serotonin and dopamine may also play a role in the development of mood disorders like depression or bipolar disorder. Additionally, stressful life events, trauma, chronic illness, or substance abuse can contribute to the onset of mood disorders.

The monoamine theory of mood suggests that imbalances in neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine contribute to mood disorders like depression. It proposes that increasing levels of these neurotransmitters can alleviate depressive symptoms, leading to the development of medications like SSRIs and SNRIs. However, this theory is not a complete explanation for all mood disorders and other factors may also play a role.
