Could you explain what is it like to have cyclothymia?

Milder bipolar d/o: People w/ cyclothymia may have mild ups or downs in their mood coinciding w/ periods of increased energy, activity ; creativity and periods of low energy, withdrawal, ; loss of interest in usual activities. Usually, these individuals do not have serious impairment in relationships due to affairs or risky behaviors, spend too much money or act in a way that endangers their life or others.

Cyclothymia: Cyclothymia can be thought of as a low grade version of bipolar disorder. That is to say, cyclothymics do experience similar mood swings, but not to the intensity of those experienced by those suffering from bipolar disorder. A psychiatric evaluation is in order with appropriate mood stabilizing meds as needed and a referral to a reputable psychotherapist who specializes in mood disorders.
