Cyclothymia (Collection: Mental Health )

A mild form of Bipolar Disorder, Cyclothymia is diagnosable when a person experiences alternating moods that swing on a regular (often monthly-quarterly basis) between mild mania (hypomania) and mild depression. For at least a two year period there must be no evidence that the mild hypomania ever turned into a true Mania, or that the mild depression turned into a true diagnosable Major Depression. The disorder must be present and documentable for at least two years before it can be formally diagnosed.
