Dysthymia Treatment
Long-Term Relief from Persistent Depression with Compassionate Care
Dysthymia, or long-term depression, is a lasting condition that can make everyday life feel overwhelming and less enjoyable. While its symptoms may not be as severe as major depression, they persist over time, affecting mood, relationships, and overall well-being. Our dysthymia treatment programs are designed to help individuals manage persistent depressive disorder effectively, regain emotional balance, and lead a more fulfilling life.
We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently.
What Is Dysthymia (Persistent Depressive Disorder)?
Dysthymia is a long-term, low-grade depression that can persist for two years or more. While it may not cause severe episodes, it leads to ongoing feelings of sadness. Symptoms often encompass chronic low mood, fatigue, and trouble focusing.
Common Symptoms of Dysthymia
- Chronic Low Mood – A persistent feeling of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness.
- Lack of Interest in Activities – Reduced pleasure or enjoyment in hobbies, social interactions, or personal goals.
- Fatigue and Low Energy – Ongoing physical and mental exhaustion.
- Difficulty Concentrating – Trouble focusing, making decisions, or staying motivated.
- Irritability and Mood Swings – Periods of frustration, negativity, or emotional instability.
- Sleep and Appetite Changes – Insomnia, excessive sleeping, loss of appetite, or overeating.
Since symptoms of dysthymia develop gradually, many individuals may not even realize they are experiencing depression. Without proper treatment, this condition can lead to self-isolation and low self-esteem. Moreover, it increases the risk of substance use.
