what is rapid cycling?
Answer:
Rapid cycling is something that some people with bipolar experience. It means cycling from mania (or hypomania) to depression and back again at least 4 times in one year. Ultra-rapid cycling (also called rapid rapid cycling) occurs over shorter time periods. "Ultradian" rapid cycling includes cycles in a single day. I have personally witnessed ultradian cycling first hand and close up, and it's wild, not in a good way.
When a person goes through emotional states (depression/mania basically) pretty fast in a cycle...
Rapid cycling is being depressed for days and sleeping awhile lot next your up and can't sleep for nothing. I have a friend who is a rapid cycler she'll be up for a week or so and she'll ,talking a mile a minute then she'lll sleep a lot for another week She's been better with new meds. Good luck !
