Cyclothymia | *In 1882, cyclothymia was characterized by recurring mood cycles. This was accomplished by Karl Ludwig Kahlbaum. | ||
**Cyclothymia contains episodes, both of which occur in a milder form than in [[bipolar disorder]]: | |||
***[[Melancholic episodes]] | |||
***[[Manic episodes]] | |||
*In 1980, cyclothymia was included to the [[DSM]].<ref name="pmid22459786">{{cite journal| author=Van Meter AR, Youngstrom EA, Findling RL| title=Cyclothymic disorder: a critical review. | journal=Clin Psychol Rev | year= 2012 | volume= 32 | issue= 4 | pages= 229-43 | pmid=22459786 | doi=10.1016/j.cpr.2012.02.001 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=22459786 }} </ref> | |||

Synonyms and keywords: Cyclothymic disorder; cyclic disorder
Overview
Cyclothymia, or cyclothymic disorder, is a mood disorder characterized by the co-occurrence of hypomanic and depressive symptoms over a period of at least two years, or one year in children and young adults. Symptoms must not meet the diagnostic criteria for manic/depressive episodes.[1] Cyclothymia is considered a mild form of bipolar II disorder.[2] There is evidence that cyclothymia may be the most common form of bipolar disorder.[3]
Historical Perspective
- In 1882, cyclothymia was characterized by recurring mood cycles. This was accomplished by Karl Ludwig Kahlbaum.
- Cyclothymia contains episodes, both of which occur in a milder form than in bipolar disorder:
- Cyclothymia has been conceptualized in a variety of ways:[4]
- As a subtype of bipolar disorder
- As a temperament
- As a personality trait
- As a personality disorder
- The two defining features of the disorder, according to DSM-5, are:
- The presence of depressive episodes
- The presence of hypomania
Classification
- Cyclothymia is classified by the DSM-V as a mild form of bipolar II disorder.[2][5]
- There is disagreement among experts in the field of psychiatry as to whether this is an appropriate definition, or whether cyclothymia is actually better understood as a general instability of mood.[6]
- Cyclothymia has been conceptualized to include other characteristics such as:[7]
Commonly Comorbid Conditions
- Conditions that are commonly comorbid with cyclothymia include:[8]
Differentiating Cyclothymia from other disorders
- Cyclothymia must be differentiated from other disorders that present with similar symptomatology, including:[2][5]
- Major depression
- Patients with cyclothymia can be distinguished from patients with major depression based on an earlier age of onset, a higher likelihood of having a family history of bipolar disorder, and a higher incidence of sleep disturbances.[9][10]
- Bipolar disorder
- Cyclothymia can be distinguished from bipolar disorder by the relatively minimized intensity of the mood-altering episodes patients experience and a younger age of onset.[5][10]
- Major depression
Epidemiology and Demographics
- The prevalence of cyclothymic disorder is 400-1,000 per 100,000 (0.4%-1%) of the overall population.[3][11][5]
- There is evidence that suggests cyclothymia may be the most common form of bipolar disorder.
- The estimated lifetime prevalence rate was found to be between 5%-8%, whereas other studies suggest a much lower rate ranging from 0.4%-2.5%.[6]
Age
- Cyclothymia is most common in young adults.[5]
Gender
- Men and women are equally likely to be affected by cyclothymia, though women may be more likely to seek treatment.[2][11]
Race
- No racial predilection of cyclothymia has been observed.
Risk Factors
- Risk factors for the development of cyclothymia include:[2][5][12]
- Being an adolescent
- Childhood abuse
- Having a mentally ill parent
- Having problems at school
- Genetic predisposition
- The cause of cyclothymic disorder is unknown.
- Genetics may play a role, as indicated by a range of twin studies involving dizygotic (fraternal) and monozygotic (identical) twins.
- There is a high likelihood that a patient with cyclothymia will have a family history of mood disorders.[2]
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
- Cyclothymia usually manifests early in a patient’s life.[2]
- Possible complications include a progression to bipolar disorder, though this occurs in less than half of cyclothymic patients.[2]
- Early intervention may allow patients to circumvent some of the complications associated with bipolar disorder.[8]
- Cyclothymia may remain a chronic condition or disappear over the course of a patient’s life.[2]

History and Symptoms
- Symptoms of cyclothymia include:[2]
- Periods of both mania (extreme mood elevation and energy) and depression (low mood and energy level) for at least two years, or one in children and young adults
- Mood swings that are not as severe as those observed in bipolar disorder
- Continuity of manic/depressive episodes (i.e., no more than 2 consecutive months without symptoms)
Clinical Examination
- One prominent barrier to a diagnosis is a lack of consensus among clinicians about the precise distinction between syndromal and subsyndromal depression and mania.[11]
Laboratory Findings
- Although no laboratory findings are diagnostic of cyclothymia, a healthcare provider may wish to order blood tests and/or urine tests in order to rule out other possible causes of mood swings.[2]
Imaging Findings
- No imaging findings are diagnostic of cyclothymia, though limited evidence suggests that cyclothymia may be associated with activity in the left lingual gyrus.[13]
Treatment
Medical Therapy
The treatment of cyclothymia may involve medications.[2]
- Medication
- Medication may involve:[2]
- Commonly prescribed mood-stabilizers are:
- Clinical evidence also supports the use of such antipsychotic drugs as quetiapine.[11]
- Talk therapy is another source of treatment for cyclothymia.
