With cyclothymia, you experience periods when your mood noticeably shifts up and down from your baseline. You may feel on top of the world for a time, followed by a low period when you feel somewhat down. Between these cyclothymic highs and lows, you may feel stable and fine.
Although the highs and lows of cyclothymia are less extreme than those of bipolar disorder, it's critical to seek help managing these symptoms because they can interfere with your ability to function and increase your risk of bipolar disorder.
About Cyclothymia and its therapies, we talk to Clinical lecturer from Sydney Medical School of University of Sydney, Psychiatrist Dr Blagoje Kuljić (MD, PhD, FRANZCP).
