What is Cyclothymia? | Matt Edmondson on Impact of Rare Mental Health Disorder Cyclothymia

Описание: Matt Edmonson opens up about his experience with cyclothymia, a rare mental health condition similar to bipolar disorder, characterised by intense bouts of depression followed by equally intense bouts of euphoria.

In this chat with Fearne, Edmondson explains how he struggled for years before getting his ''life-changing'' diagnosis and how having an official medical diagnosis has helped him understand himself better and what he can do about it.
