What is Cyclothymic Disorder?

Cyclothymic Disorder is a mild form of bipolar disorder. Symptoms are similar between the two and include chronic mood fluctuation, episodes of mania and depressed behaviors. However, duration, severity, and frequency of episodes are often not as intense as in the case of bipolar disorder.

Patients diagnosed with cyclothymia still find difficulty in maintaining and regulating their emotions which can lead to troublesome side effects and an inability to function normally without medical intervention.
