| 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. |
| We excluded patients with psychotic features, major depressive disorders, cyclothymia, or bipolar disorders. |
| The Royal College of Psychiatrists defines four types of bipolar disorder: bipolar I, bipolar II, rapid cycling and cyclothymia. |
| Examples of types of the disorder, which encompass the so-called bipolar spectrum, include bipolar I, bipolar II, mixed bipolar, and cyclothymia. |
| A person with cyclothymia experiences symptoms of hypomania but never a full-blown hypomanic episode. |
| In order for cyclothymia to be diagnosed, hypomanic symptoms and depressive symptoms must be present alternately for at least two years. |
