At Los Angeles Outpatient Center (LAOP), we offer specialized treatment for Cyclothymic Disorder, helping individuals manage frequent mood fluctuations and achieve greater emotional stability. Our comprehensive approach combines evidence-based therapies and holistic practices tailored to your unique needs.
What Is Cyclothymic Disorder?
Cyclothymic Disorder, also known as Cyclothymia, is a mood disorder characterized by chronic, fluctuating mood disturbances involving periods of hypomanic symptoms and periods of depressive symptoms. These mood swings are less severe than those seen in Bipolar Disorder but are more persistent. Individuals with Cyclothymic Disorder may experience alternating periods of elevated mood and depressive symptoms over the course of at least two years. Effective treatment can help manage these mood fluctuations and improve overall functioning and quality of life.
