Dysthymic, more commonly referred to as dysthymia or persistent depressive disorder, is a chronic form of depression characterized by a low mood lasting for at least two years in adults (one year in children and adolescents). Individuals with dysthymia may experience symptoms such as low energy, feelings of hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, and changes in sleep or appetite, but these symptoms are typically less severe than those found in major depressive disorder. Despite being less intense, dysthymia can significantly impair daily functioning and quality of life. Treatment often includes psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both.
