Original poster mislinked the Cyclothymia forums, corrected.

This is like a dictionray entry, it needs to be fixed. -- Mikecnn 22:12, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cyclothymia lasts for at least 2 years??

Do you know if there is a form of cyclothymia that cycles in periods of days or weeks rather than in periods of years? Frumpter 05:02, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Ultradian Bipolar Disorder is a possible category, it has been included in the links below euthymia and dysthymia Barrison 10:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Description

"consists of short periods of mild depression alternating with short periods of hypomania." - How long is "short", how often do these moods cycle? This definition is remarkably unspecific. 69.85.162.173 05:40, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

DSM-IV isn't much more specific. Clinicians need some wiggle-room, frankly.

I have introduced the paragraph on mixed state and misdiagnosis because it's an issue that rarely seems to be mentioned in text books and is estimated to delay correct diagnosis by over a decade.DaiSaw.( I've also added the two new links ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DaiSaw (talk • contribs) 15:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Accidental inclusion of discussion in article?

I have undone the addition to the article which appended the following text:

eu penso ter uma forma de desordem bipolar, visto ter mudanças de humor repentinas e quase ter tentado suicidio mas se for esse o meu problema penso que tenha soluçao

A Babelfish translation from Portuguese to English returns:

I think to have a form of bipolar clutter, visa to have sudden changes of mood and to almost have attemped suicidio but will be this my problem thinks that it has soluçao

[edit] Schizothymia

This disorder is often mentioned together with Schizothymia, can anyone start an article explaining the differences which make up schizothymia? Nagelfar 16:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

There, I attempted to make such a page. Nagelfar 10:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

Why would Cyclothymia be in a separate article from Bipolar disorder? That article even lists the three types of Bipolar, Bipolar I, Bipolar II, and Cyclothymia. This short article I would think ought to be absorbed into the main article. Thoughts? VigilancePrime 18:47, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Cyclothymia is a distinct disorder, both in the ICD-10 and DSM-IV classifications. It's a "persistent mood disorder" and could therefore be merged with Dysthymia. --PsychoPiglet (talk) 14:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I think we should have a redirect page to here from 'cyclothimia'. I made this misspelling when I first sought the article; and it's hardly at all farfetched. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.143.126 (talk) 14:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
