His and Her Health

Just wanted to let you know that I have found dome wonderful information reguarding Cyclothymia and have also found out that even though anti-depressants are recommended they can actually cause the cycling from depression to hypo mania. Through the research that I have done, I have found that we are supposed to be on a medication that helps with the hypomania stage of the Cyclothymia as well as the antidepressant. But since GP's are not as familiar with Cyclothymia as are Psychologists they automatically give anti-depressants that help to contol the depression. What I need to know is what exactly do you do when you are experiencing a hypomania episode? I normally do things like organize my files in my filing cabinet or clean, clean, clean. My pitfall though is when I am experiencing a hypomania episode and I go shopping. I can spend up to 1000 in one whack. I did this recently at Wal-Mart. I hate myself when I do these things. Please contact me and let me know if any of this information helps you. Thanks!!
