I have had three depressions and am in a 3rd mania , or at least that is what my pdoc says. Anyway, it this considered rapid cycling? I know you have to have 4 cycles within a year, does that mean 4 depressions and/or 4 manias, or mixture of both (2 manias and depressions etc.). I want to know because I am very paranoid about the government having the correct papers so that I won't be put under the radar. I will ask my pdoc the next time I see her. TIA

I believe four episodes in a year, whether depression or manis, constitute rapid cycling.
