dysthymia

Flashbacks to the uneasy beginning of his relationship with Turid prove he was already detached from his emotional core, suffering from dysthymia for years prior to the ship burning.

My doctor explained to me that persistent depressive disorder, also called dysthymia, was a type of “functional depression” that lasts for years and often for a lifetime.

The term dysthymia is also used for mild, long-term depression – usually lasting two years or more.

Existential depression, which might be better classified as dysthymia, is another form which differs in scope and substance.

I’ve been previously diagnosed with panic disorder, dysthymia, eating disorder not otherwise specified and anxiety.
