What is dysthymic disorder?
Essentially, dysthymia is mild depression. Dysthymia is depression that is milder than an episode of clinical major depression. BUT while it is the milder it is much longer lasting and often goes undiagnosed. In fact, to diagnose dysthymia feelings of depression must occur in an individual, constantly and continuously, for at least a period of two years. An individual diagnosed with dysthymia usually truly cannot remember the last time they enjoyed themselves and felt happy. Dysthymia usually goes unnoticed and untreated because the patient's depression is so mild, and so enduring, that most people believe that it is simply that individual's personality to be depressed.
