The psychiatrist examines Virginia Woolf's life from the perspective of her illness, cyclothymia, a milder form of manic depression. |
|
A person with cyclothymia experiences symptoms of hypomania but never a full-blown hypomanic episode. |
|
Sixteen of these patients also met criteria for major depression, dysthymic disorder, GAD, cyclothymia, and somatization disorder. |
|
We excluded patients with psychotic features, major depressive disorders, cyclothymia, or bipolar disorders. |
|
Patients who develop cyclothymia, a condition similar to bipolar disorder but less severe, are at very high risk for full-blown bipolar disorder. |
|
In order for cyclothymia to be diagnosed, hypomanic symptoms and depressive symptoms must be present alternately for at least two years. |
|
Examples of types of the disorder, which encompass the so-called bipolar spectrum, include bipolar I, bipolar II, mixed bipolar, and cyclothymia. |
|
The Royal College of Psychiatrists defines four types of bipolar disorder: bipolar I, bipolar II, rapid cycling and cyclothymia. |
|
Major depression and other mood disorders such as dysthymia, bipolar disorder, and cyclothymia are common and very treatable forms of psychiatric problems. |
|
Rapid cycling is when more than four extreme mood swings happen within a year, while cyclothymia is when sufferers' mood swings are not as severe as those in full bipolar disorder, but can be longer. |
|
Cyclothymia, a milder form of bipolar disorder, is a chronic mood disturbance. |
