Can heightened sexual feelings and moods be indicative of Cyclothymia?
human
I am 44, 5'6'' and approx. 12st 9. I've been having depressive episodes since I was about 15, and have suffered social anxiety since then too. I managed to suppress my SA sypmtoms reasonably about 10 years ago and can pretty much cope with most situations now especially eating in public which was my worst fear. I've recently been experiencing high moods, and heightened sexual feelings which I find extremely hard to cope with - this has coincided with some big changes in my personal life. I don't think I'm bipolar, but have been wondering about cyclothymia - I'd be grateful for some feedback as I don't know how to approach my GP, he has never been sympathetic in matters of mental health to be honest!

Dear User,Thanks for using health care magic.From the available description it appears that you are having possibility of bipolar disorder although it is also possible that your current medication responsible for newer symptoms. It is very rare to have this kind of mood in cyclothymia which is unmanagable. In my view ask your physician to make a  reference to a psychiatrist. 'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".Thanks
