Dysthymia, also known as Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD), is a long-lasting form of depression that affects mood, motivation, and overall well-being. Unlike major depression, dysthymia symptoms are less severe but persist for years, making treatment essential for improved quality of life. Common indicators include:

• Chronic Low Mood & Hopelessness – Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness lasting two years or more.

• Fatigue & Low Energy – Ongoing exhaustion, even with adequate rest.

• Difficulty Concentrating – Struggles with focus, memory, and decision-making.

• Sleep & Appetite Changes – Insomnia, excessive sleeping, weight fluctuations, or loss of appetite.

• Reduced Self-Esteem – Persistent self-doubt, guilt, or feelings of worthlessness.

• Loss of Interest in Daily Activities – Lack of motivation or engagement in hobbies, relationships, or work.
