Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) Treatment
Free Yourself from Lingering Sadness and Build a More Hopeful Future
"We treat these conditions in conjunction with substance use, not independently."
When Low Mood Becomes a Constant Companion
Understanding Persistent Depressive Disorder
Dysthymia is marked by a depressed mood that lasts for two years or more. While many with PDD appear functional, the condition quietly diminishes emotional strength, motivation, and satisfaction in daily life.
Common symptoms include:
Persistent sadness or emptiness
Chronic fatigue and low motivation
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Struggles with socializing or enjoying hobbies
Shifts in sleep or appetite
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness
For many, PDD alternates with episodes of more severe depression, creating a difficult cycle. Substance use may seem like relief but ultimately worsens symptoms, making integrated treatment essential.
