I was reading the article about cyclothymia in Wikipedia, and noticed that antidepressants make the condition worse somehow. I imagine "AD" means antidepressants?

The use of anti-depressants as monotherapy typically worsens cyclothymia and can induce mood switching, cycle acceleration, mixed states and prolonged treatment resistance.
