Can you answer Canchito’s question about Depression?:
My GP wrote a report on me stating that I had all three conditions at the same time. I don’t believe it’s possible to have even two of them at once. I believe Cyclothymia is a less severe form of Bipolar, and Depression when combined with hypomania is a symptom of Cyclothymia, not a disorder in itself.

Depression Feedback: bipolar does not have to be in one classification, bipolar is in three catagories all of which comes under the heading of schizophrenia. the three that you mentioned is under that heading.
Depression Feedback: If you did have all three at once, then you’re probably a pretty miserable person.
Depression Feedback: Cyclothymia is in fact a mild form of bipolar. I have known people to go from having Cyclothymia disorder to progress onto having bipolar. Depression is part of bipolar so can not be classed as a separate disorder. hypo-mania is also a sign of bipolar type 2 disorder. You could have what they call bipolar “NOS” (not otherwise specified. this is when you don’t come under any of the other types such as bipolar l bipolar ll or Cyclothymic disorders. take care good luck
