Cyclothymia

Never heard this word before in life.


Ok, so I took a "are you depressed?" quiz online. I pretty much just googled "are you depressed quiz". The first link that came up was http://www.depressedtest.com 


So, I took the quiz and my results were kind of scattered, but I had high on bi polar and extremely high Cyclothmia.



"The depressive or hypomania symptoms of cyclothymia may last for a few days to several weeks at a time, with brief intervals of normal mood in between. Personality changes are often evident to family and friends. Individuals who have a stable mood for longer than two months at a time are not likely cyclothymic. Symptoms may be mimicked by substance abuse, borderline personality disorder, or other mood disorder. A family history of depressive or bipolar disorders increases the risk.
