Any one else been told they might/have this?
Cyclothymic disorder is a mild form of bipolar disorder (manic depressive illness) in which a person has mood swings over a period of years that go from mild depression to euphoria and excitement.
Symptoms
Episodes of hypomania (see: Bipolar disorder) and mild depression occur for at least 2 years (1 or more years in children and adolescents)
Mood swings are less severe than in bipolar disorder, major depression, or mania
Symptoms are persistent, with no more than 2 symptom-free months in a row
