For the past 6 months, a 28 yr old woman has seemed full of energy and optimism for no obvious reason. Although she gets only about 6 hrs of sleep a night, she has been very productive at work. She is talkative and gregarious and relates that she belongs to four clubs and 2 different sports teams. A few years peviously, friends say she was often pessimistic and seemed tired and washed out. During that period, she continued to work but didnot seek out social social activities and had little interest in sex. There is no evidence of thought disorder and the patient denies suicidality or hopelessness. Physical examination including body weight is normal.
this patient shows evidence of,
A) dysthymic disorder
B) major depressive disorder
C) bipolar disorder
D) hypochondriasis
E) cyclothymic disorder

the Alternative PEriod of Massive depression to a Noticble chnge within the span of 2 yrs is Cyclothymia. It Does NOt FIt in with Either Bipolar or Major Depressive Disorder and Rather Looks like it infact but isnt. More or less Bipolar is a close Fit to it in DSM-IV
Can u tell Source of the Q??
