Dysthymia is a type of depression characterized by a mild, chronic, and persistent low mood that can last for two years or more. It is often referred to as a "low-grade" depression because the symptoms are not as severe as those experienced in major depressive disorder, but the condition can still have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. People with dysthymia may experience feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities they once enjoyed, as well as changes in appetite and sleep patterns. Dysthymia is often comorbid with other mental health conditions, such as anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
