Mood disorders is a wider category of diagnosis. Anxiety disorder is one type of mood disorder. Others include bipolar disorder (manic/depression), all sorts of depressive disorders, and more. You can check the DSM IVR for specifics. All of these are categorizations of problems that get in the way of someone living a fully functional life. Speak to your doctor or a local psychotherapist for more information.
