  Cyclothymia is associated with a lifetime prevalence of approximately 0.4%-1% and a male to female ratio of 1:1. Prevalence may increase in clinics with some surveys reporting rates as high as 5%.[2][3][4] […] Cyclothymia is an affective disorder characterized by emotional reactivity and affective dysregulation. Often this disorder presents a challenge for the clinician as many patients present with non-specific symptoms and may be mistaken for similarly manifesting psychiatric disorders.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17788-cyclothymia

  Cyclothymia affects approximately 0.4% to 1% of people in the United States. […] Because many of the symptoms of cyclothymia overlap with other mental health conditions, many researchers think cyclothymia is considerably underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed. […] It can be difficult for healthcare providers to diagnose cyclothymia, as it has many overlapping symptoms of other mental health conditions. […] Providers diagnose cyclothymia when your symptoms (alternating hypomanic and depressive episodes) have been present for at least 50% of the time for at least two years. […] Unfortunately, most people who have cyclothymia have symptoms that are mild enough that they dont seek medical treatment and/or they dont think they have a medical condition. […] The prognosis (outlook) for cyclothymia can vary. […] For those who do seek help for cyclothymia, early diagnosis and treatment can result in significant improvement in the long-term outlook.

• #3 Cyclothymic Disorder – PsychDB

  Cyclothymic disorder is a mood disorder characterized by chronic, fluctuating mood disturbances that consist of numerous hypomanic symptoms (not a hypomanic episode) and depressive symptoms (not a depressive episode), that are chronologically distinct from each other. It is best conceptualized as mild form of bipolar II disorder. […] The lifetime prevalence of cyclothymic disorder is approximately 0.4% to 1%. […] The prevalence in mood disorders clinics may range from 3% to 5%. […] Despite these relatively high estimated prevalence rates, cyclothymic disorder is rarely diagnosed in clinical practice. […] In the general population, cyclothymic disorder is apparently equally common in males and females. In clinical settings, females are more likely to present for clinical attention.

  https://diamondrehabthailand.com/what-is-cyclothymia/

  Cyclothymia is a mild mood disorder with chronic symptoms that bear similarities with those observed in bipolar disorder. Cyclothymic disorder can also cause emotional ups and downs, although relatively mild. However, because of its chronic nature, it still has a significant impact on an individual’s life and functioning. […] The causes of cyclothymia include genetics, changes in brain structure and function, and environmental issues. […] Cyclothymia affects 20% to 50% of patients who suffer from depression, anxiety, and associated diseases. […] The prevalence of this condition is also almost equally distributed across men and women, however women seem to seek therapy more frequently. About 50% of clinically depressed patients evaluated at outpatient psychiatric clinics had a diagnosis of cyclothymia.

  Cyclothymia is a rare mental health condition. According to an article entitled, Cyclothymia (Cyclothymic Disorder) published in WebMD, cyclothymia affects 0.4% to 1% of Americans. […] Unfortunately, many experts believe that cyclothymia is under diagnosed and misdiagnosed due to the fact that its symptoms closely resemble that of other mental health conditions. […] The genetic component of cyclothymic disorder is strong, and a family history of the condition or other mental health problems may indicate a greater risk of development. […] Environmental factors such as traumatic life events and high levels of stress may also increase one’s likelihood of developing cyclothymia. […] Cyclothymia can be treated with the help of different treatment options, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT), and medications like mood stabilizers. […] These treatment options available for patients with cyclothymic disorder help control or lessen their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

  Among mood disorders, cyclothymia has received the least attention in epidemiological studies. Reviews of over 100 epidemiological studies on bipolar disorders (BDs) found that only eight reported on cyclothymia, which showed rates ranging from 0.4 to 2.5% in the general population. Prevalence rates for brief episodes of hypomania associated with brief depression ranged between 5 and 8%, and for subsyndromal bipolarity between 6 and 13%. Higher rates of cyclothymia can be observed in the clinical population: more than 30% of depressed patients are seen in psychiatric outpatient settings and 50% of patients have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A similar figure was confirmed in the general practice setting. […] Most clinicians are blind to cyclothymia and very few use this diagnosis in their practice, probably because BDs are considered according to rigid and narrow conceptions requiring the observation of typical (hypo)manic episodes. In other words, clinicians do not accept the subtyping of BD. Therefore, the first source of confusion is to consider cyclothymia as a continuum of intensity of a manic episode, which is the statement accepted in the DSM. Further confusion is due to the young age of onset (early adolescence) of cyclothymic features (e.g., mood instability and extreme emotional reactivity), which are usually reported as markers of the cluster 'B’ of personality disorders: hystrionic or borderline personality disorders.

  Characterized by episodes of hypomania and depressive symptoms not meeting criteria for a major depression, cyclothymia is manifested as changes in energy level. The onset is usually in early adulthood, with a subsequent, somewhat sporadic, annual, or biennial pattern. In children and adolescents, the duration must be at least 1 year to receive the diagnosis. Episodes are more common in spring or fall and last for 3 to 10 weeks. Recurrences appear to be unrelated to life events, although a stressful period often precedes the initial episode. Patients with cyclothymia respond to Li and to mood stabilizers about as well as those with full-blown bipolar illness. […] Many patients with cyclothymia have a family history of bipolar disorder. About one third eventually develop the full-blown illness, and most patients with bipolar I or II illness had previously experienced mood swings consistent with a pattern of cyclothymia for several years.

  Cyclothymic disorder begins in adolescence or early adulthood, with an insidious onset and persistent course. The lifetime prevalence of cyclothymic disorder is 0.04% to 1%, and its prevalence is roughly equal in males and females. […] Undetected and unmanaged cyclothymia can contribute to poor quality of life and can affect personal and work relationships. Rates of suicide in people with cyclothymia are comparable with those of patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia; 15% to 50% of individuals with cyclothymia will develop bipolar disorder. […] Cyclothymia is often diagnosed late after many years of illness when the superposition of complications such as increased suicidality, substance misuse, and tendency for conversion to bipolar disorder reduces the possibility of complete remission. Consideration of cyclothymia in the differential diagnosis of patients with unresolving depressive symptoms may aid referral to specialist care for diagnosis and advice on management.

  Cyclothymic disorder, also known as cyclothymia, is a type of bipolar disorder that involves chronic fluctuations between periods of hypomanic and depressive symptoms. However, the hypomanic and depressive symptoms are of insufficient number, severity, pervasiveness, or duration to meet the full criteria for either type of episode. […] Epidemiological studies suggest cyclothymic disorder typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood and gradually increases in severity and impairment with age especially if it goes undiagnosed and untreated. It has a lifetime prevalence of approximately 0.4%-1% in the general population, but may present as high as 5% in clinical settings. […] As with most psychiatric conditions, the cause of cyclothymic disorder is unknown but there is strong evidence for genetic influence as twin studies found the concordance rate to be about 57% in identical twins and another study found that 30% of those with cyclothymic disorder have a family history of some type of bipolar disorder. Those with cyclothymic disorder are also at an increased risk (15%-20%) of developing bipolar I or bipolar II disorder.

  https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA308508616&sid=googleScholar&v=2.1&it=r&linkaccess=abs&issn=17582008&p=HRCA&sw=w

  Among mood disorders, cyclothymia has received the least attention in epidemiological studies. Reviews of over 100 epidemiological studies on bipolar disorders (BDs) found that only eight reported on cyclothymia, which showed rates ranging from 0.4 to 2.5% in the general population. Prevalence rates for brief episodes of hypomania associated with brief depression ranged between 5 and 8%, and for subsyndromal bipolarity between 6 and 13%. Higher rates of cyclothymia can be observed in the clinical population: more than 30% of depressed patients are seen in psychiatric outpatient settings and 50% of patients have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A similar figure was confirmed in the general practice setting. […] Most clinicians are blind to cyclothymia and very few use this diagnosis in their practice, probably because BDs are considered according to rigid and narrow conceptions requiring the observation of typical (hypo)manic episodes. In other words, clinicians do not accept the subtyping of BD. Therefore, the first source of confusion is to consider cyclothymia as a continuum of intensity of a manic episode, which is the statement accepted in the DSM. Further confusion is due to the young age of onset (early adolescence) of cyclothymic features (e.g., mood instability and extreme emotional reactivity), which are usually reported as markers of the cluster 'B’ of personality disorders: hystrionic or borderline personality disorders.

• #38 Cyclothymic – Mental Health Foundation

  https://mentalhealthfoundation.org/health-conditions/mood-disorders/cyclothymic/

  Cyclothymia or cyclothymic disorder, is a mood disorder that looks like a milder form of bipolar disorder types I and II. Cyclothymia is characterized by episodes of depressive symptoms and hypomanic symptoms which are not severe enough to warrant a diagnosis of major depressive disorder or hypomania. […] The rates for cyclothymia range from 0.4 to 8% depending on the study, and it affects males and females equally. The typical age of onset of cyclothymia is from late childhood to early adulthood. […] Cyclothymia tends to be underdiagnosed due to its relatively milder symptomatology and because DSM-5 criteria are limiting. This could mean that some people are given the wrong diagnosis and treatment plan for their condition because their symptoms don’t match all the criteria. […] The cause of cyclothymia remains unknown. Individuals who have a family history of cyclothymia are at increased risk of developing this mood disorder.

  Cyclothymic disorder, also known as cyclothymia, is a type of bipolar disorder that involves chronic fluctuations between periods of hypomanic and depressive symptoms. However, the hypomanic and depressive symptoms are of insufficient number, severity, pervasiveness, or duration to meet the full criteria for either type of episode. […] Epidemiological studies suggest cyclothymic disorder typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood and gradually increases in severity and impairment with age especially if it goes undiagnosed and untreated. It has a lifetime prevalence of approximately 0.4%-1% in the general population, but may present as high as 5% in clinical settings. […] As with most psychiatric conditions, the cause of cyclothymic disorder is unknown but there is strong evidence for genetic influence as twin studies found the concordance rate to be about 57% in identical twins and another study found that 30% of those with cyclothymic disorder have a family history of some type of bipolar disorder. Those with cyclothymic disorder are also at an increased risk (15%-20%) of developing bipolar I or bipolar II disorder.

  Among mood disorders, cyclothymia has received the least attention in epidemiological studies. Reviews of over 100 epidemiological studies on bipolar disorders (BDs) found that only eight reported on cyclothymia, which showed rates ranging from 0.4 to 2.5% in the general population. Prevalence rates for brief episodes of hypomania associated with brief depression ranged between 5 and 8%, and for subsyndromal bipolarity between 6 and 13%. Higher rates of cyclothymia can be observed in the clinical population: more than 30% of depressed patients are seen in psychiatric outpatient settings and 50% of patients have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A similar figure was confirmed in the general practice setting. […] Most clinicians are blind to cyclothymia and very few use this diagnosis in their practice, probably because BDs are considered according to rigid and narrow conceptions requiring the observation of typical (hypo)manic episodes. In other words, clinicians do not accept the subtyping of BD. Therefore, the first source of confusion is to consider cyclothymia as a continuum of intensity of a manic episode, which is the statement accepted in the DSM. Further confusion is due to the young age of onset (early adolescence) of cyclothymic features (e.g., mood instability and extreme emotional reactivity), which are usually reported as markers of the cluster 'B’ of personality disorders: hystrionic or borderline personality disorders.

  Among mood disorders, cyclothymia has received the least attention in epidemiological studies. Reviews of over 100 epidemiological studies on bipolar disorders (BDs) found that only eight reported on cyclothymia, which showed rates ranging from 0.4 to 2.5% in the general population. Prevalence rates for brief episodes of hypomania associated with brief depression ranged between 5 and 8%, and for subsyndromal bipolarity between 6 and 13%. Higher rates of cyclothymia can be observed in the clinical population: more than 30% of depressed patients are seen in psychiatric outpatient settings and 50% of patients have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A similar figure was confirmed in the general practice setting. […] Most clinicians are blind to cyclothymia and very few use this diagnosis in their practice, probably because BDs are considered according to rigid and narrow conceptions requiring the observation of typical (hypo)manic episodes. In other words, clinicians do not accept the subtyping of BD. Therefore, the first source of confusion is to consider cyclothymia as a continuum of intensity of a manic episode, which is the statement accepted in the DSM. Further confusion is due to the young age of onset (early adolescence) of cyclothymic features (e.g., mood instability and extreme emotional reactivity), which are usually reported as markers of the cluster 'B’ of personality disorders: hystrionic or borderline personality disorders.

  Characterized by episodes of hypomania and depressive symptoms not meeting criteria for a major depression, cyclothymia is manifested as changes in energy level. The onset is usually in early adulthood, with a subsequent, somewhat sporadic, annual, or biennial pattern. In children and adolescents, the duration must be at least 1 year to receive the diagnosis. Episodes are more common in spring or fall and last for 3 to 10 weeks. Recurrences appear to be unrelated to life events, although a stressful period often precedes the initial episode. Patients with cyclothymia respond to Li and to mood stabilizers about as well as those with full-blown bipolar illness. […] Many patients with cyclothymia have a family history of bipolar disorder. About one third eventually develop the full-blown illness, and most patients with bipolar I or II illness had previously experienced mood swings consistent with a pattern of cyclothymia for several years.
