Depression that seems to last forever!. People with Dysthymic Disorder tend to have a very negative outlook, difficulty making decisions and may have a lack of energy!.
Not as severe as Major Depression, and the diagnosis isn't used quite as often!.

I had been diagnosed with Major Depression, I used to think I fit the criteria for Dysthymic Disorder and I never mentioned it to my psychiatrist!. Then, guess what, she changed my diagnosis to Dysthymic Disorder after I saw her for a few years!.
I took St!. John's Wort and it gave me unbelievable stomach aches; I'll never take that stuff again!. Maybe it worked for somebody, but not me!. I have taken Desipramine, Paxil, Buspar, Seroquel and Cymbalta!.
Paxil and Cymbalta both worked well and I'm not even sure if one is better than the other!. The side effects haven't bothered me very much!.
I read somewhere that some psychiatrists don't think there's really any real difference between Major Depression and Dysthymic Disorder!. I can't remember where I read that, though!.
I have met people who work in mental health who say they never heard of it!. I work in mental health medical records and I can definitely say the diagnosis of Major Depression is a lot more commonly used as a diagnosis among our clients!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dysthymic disorder is given a two year span to make sure of the diagnosis in the DSM!.
Classical dysthymia is the view that life appears as if it is devoid of meaning!. The medical model is to treat it with MAO Inhibitors or SSRI (Selictive Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors)!.
Of course, the one SSRI that can address it more effectively is Saint John's Wort, which has none of the awful side effects of drugs!. It kicks in after 2 and half weeks!.

Dysthymia is a low level, long lasting (i!.e!., more than 2 years in adults, more than a year in adolescents) depression!. Episodes of either major depression or mania (during those initial years) rule out this diagnosis!.
