theres no argument lilly!
i'm getting sick of trying to explain over and again and i did say that was a freudent slip as andy's been getting on my tits of late i mistakenly called angel andy as they both rabbit on about the royal collage of psychiarty and cyclothimia easy mistake to make!
it ain't just this post it's others alike and a few months down the line he will bring it up again no doubt ;D
the MDF has as much medical previlance as proboards
it is just a charity!
the RCP site is being read wrong but andy has deluded himself into thinking that cyclothymia is some type of mild bipolar disorder! you will find out that cyclothymia is also a personality disorder!
when it is just a word to discribe mood shifting in cycles!
if you look in the DSMv4 it will tell you when the cyclothymic label should be used if there is not enough evidance to warrant bipolar 1.2 or NOS!
or there has been class A drug use within the two years of diagnosis!
lilly as for the fighting we are mature adults and he never leaves his gaff
the point is you go to a shrink and they can't put you into a pigeon hole you're not this that or the other!
if they said right i don't know what is wrong with you?
you going to say right i'm going to complain to my nhs trust
i'm going to tell the media
i'll see my local m.p
i'll write to nice
so cyclothmia is a label so you leave the shrinks office happy
in other words when you have a cyclothymic D/X you are not meeting any criteria for bipolar but you could be in the early stages of the disorder or it may not even be bipolar disorder it's cyclothymia a condition that has no symptoms in this country!
but there is instability in mood, mood turns in cycles! and thats what the word discribes!
bipolar has a kindling effect left untreated so you may start off with mood swings 2 years down the line you may have hypomania, delusions ect ect;
so cyclothymia is an incubator a friend of mine had a cyclothymia diagnosis now she has bipolar 2
meaning she did not hit the criteria for bipolar 2 first time around so they left the kindling effect do it's work now she has bipolar
i had a cyclothymia diagnosis years ago now i got a personality disorder from drug abuse?
