Dysthymia synonyms

Dysthymia commonly occurs in tandem with other psychiatric and physical conditions.

Dysthymia is a recurrent or lengthy depression that may last a lifetime.

It is similar to major depressive disorder, but dysthymia is chronic, long-lasting, persistent, and mild.

Generally patients are diagnosed with dysthymia if they feel depressed more days than not for at least two years.

Dysthymia is prevalent in patients with certain medical conditions, including multiple sclerosis, AIDS, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, and post-cardiac transplantation.
