Not always, but certainly for the majority of people who cycle, the pattern is:
Normal > Manic > Depressed > Normal > Manic > Depressed > etc.
Rarely, the cycle looks like:
Normal > Depressed > Manic > Normal > Depressed > Manic > etc.
It is my feeling that if you can prevent the mania in the more common pattern of cycling, you can also mitigate the depression.
