Dysthymia interferes with ability to function and enjoy life. Dysthymia is a mild but long-term (chronic) form of depression. Symptoms usually last for at least two years, and often for much longer than that. Experts are not sure what causes Dysthymia. Genes may play a role, but many affected people will not have a family history of depression, and others with family history will not have depression problems. To treat Dysthymia, doctors may use psychotherapy (talk therapy), medications such as antidepressants, or a combination of these therapies. Often, dysthymia can be treated by a primary care physician.
