Cyclothymic Disorder

Cyclothemia is a mood disorder in which the client displays the characteristic ups and downs (depression and euphoria) of Bipolar Disorder, to a much lower extent, and does not qualify for a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. These symptoms must last for a period of at least two years, with no period longer than 2 months in which they have been at a normal state, and no mixed episodes may have occurred.
