So around Danny's age, I was frequently depressed, but also frequently fine and happy. Things would switch seemingly unprompted or at random, and pretty frequently.
The therapist that I saw called it "psychothymia" and the way it was explained to me was that, in contrast to bipolar, which is extreme ups and downs with each extreme lasting for an extended period of time and with periods of calm between, psychothymia is milder fluctuations, but more frequent, sometimes happening multiple times within a day or week.
