Cyclothymic Disorder

Post  Matthew on Wed Dec 19, 2007 3:59 pm

A diagnosis of cyclothymic disorder requires the presence of numerous hypomanic episodes, intermingled with depressive episodes that do not meet full criteria for major depressive episodes. The main idea here is that there is a low grade cycling of mood which appears to the observer as a personality trait, but does not interfere with functioning.
