What Are the Symptoms of Mild Bipolar Disorder?

Cyclothymia is a milder form of bipolar disorder compared with bipolar I and bipolar II. This form of bipolar disorder has similar symptoms as the others, including mood swings, but the symptoms are less severe.

Sadness

• People with cyclothymia are sad and do not have energy to perform everyday tasks. They also feel hopeless.

Anxiety

• Another symptom of cyclothymia is anxiety. Anxiety causes a person to constantly be on edge, have racing thoughts and often results in insomnia.

Physical Signs

• Those with cyclothymia may suffer from loss of appetite, resulting in weight loss. Because of lack of energy and desire of food, they may also suffer from fatigue.

Lack of Interest

• Those with cyclothymia may lose interest in anything that appealed to them previously, even everyday activities like work or cleaning.

Focus

• Problems concentrating and irritability are also symptoms of cyclothymia. These symptoms are also closely related to anxiety.
