About Cyclothymia

Cyclothymia is a chronic mood disorder characterized by numerous periods of hypomanic symptoms and periods of depressive symptoms that do not meet the full criteria for a major depressive episode. It is considered a milder form of bipolar disorder. Diagnosis and management are performed by a psychiatrist and involve a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to assess mood patterns, personal history, and functional impairment. Treatment is not a single procedure but a long-term management plan, typically involving psychotherapy (like cognitive-behavioral therapy or interpersonal therapy) and, in some cases, mood-stabilizing medications. The goal is to stabilize mood swings, improve daily functioning, and prevent progression to more severe bipolar disorder. Regular follow-ups are essential for monitoring progress and adjusting the treatment strategy.

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer...

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with treatment-resistant depression, I'd lost all joy in life until Dr. Kurinjinathan introduced me to novel neuromodulation therapy. His integration of movement therapy with medication completely transformed my recovery, I'm now teaching dance to seniors with mental health challenges.
