I don't have any highs similar to what Sean and Janice are describing. But I have had times when I feel "overstimulated", like what I feel like when I have had too much caffeine. I guess I am curious about the diagnostic boundaries of cyclothymia. I don't fit into the DSM description, but it seems that the research nowadays is going in the direction of linking my type of cyclical depression to BP and cyclothymia. My pdoc wants me to go on lithium (or another mood stabilizer) as an augmenter to my ADs. I understand Lithium as a mood stabilizer, but does it work when the person has no real hypomania?
BTW, I really appreciate your discussing the cyclothymia. I know so little about it and want to learn more.
