Dysthymia
Guide picks

Dysthymia is a milder, chronic form of depression. It may periodically have episodes of major depression superimposed upon it. When this occurs, it is known as \"double depression\".


Antidepressants for Dysthymia
MHI\'s Ask the Expert discusses the effectiveness of antidepressants for dysthymia as well as how to find a doctor who specializes in the treatment of it.

Dysthymia
What is Dysthymia?
Dysthymia (the Greek roots of the word mean “bad state of mind” or “ill humor”) is a disorder with similar but longer-lasting and milder symptoms than clinical depression. By the standard psychiatric definition, this disorder lasts for at least two years, but is less disabling than major depression; for example, victims are usually able to go on working and do not need to be hospitalized.
fact sheet index

How Common Is It?
About three percent of the population will suffer from dysthymia at some time - a rate slightly lower than the rate of major depression. Like major depression, dysthymia occurs twice as often in women as it does in men. It is also more common among the poor and the unmarried. The symptoms usually appear in adolescence or young adulthood but in some cases do not emerge until middle age.

Warning Signs
The warning signs of dysthymia are:

poor school/work performance
social withdrawal
shyness
irritable hostility
conflicts with family and friends
physiological abnormalities
sleep irregularities
parents with major depression
At least three-quarters of people with dysthymia have some other psychiatric or medical disorder as well.
