Hypomania is a milder form of mania
Bipolar 1: periods of Mania / major depression (manic symptoms at least for 1 week and they don't have function)
Bipolar 2: periods of Hypomania / major depression
Cyclothymic: periods of Hypomania / depressed mood at least for 2 years (milder form of bipolar2). They have function.

Dysthymic disorder is depressed mood for at least 2 years (milder form of major depression)
