Overview

Dysthymia is a mood disorder that falls on the depression spectrum. It is characterized by the lack of enjoyment or pleasure, clinically referred to as anhedonia, that continues for an extended period. Dysthymia differs from major depression in that it is both longer-lasting and not as distressing. The symptoms of dysthymia are often underestimated by the patients and misdiagnosed by clinicians. Dysthymia can have a substantial impact on an individual's life by preventing effective functioning, disrupting sleep patterns, and interfering with activities of daily living (ADLs). It usually presents with mild symptoms on a day-to-day basis. Progressively, the disorder may take a more severe form, resulting in work impairment, social isolation, and high rates of suicide. Due to its chronicity and lesser severity, most of the patients suffering from dysthymia believe that it is a part of their character and do not seek treatment until it gets extremely disabling.

Historical Perspective

  • The historical origin of the term 'dysthymia' is Greek.
  • In 1844, dysthymia was used first in psychiatry by C.F. Flemming. [1]
  • In 1882, dysthymia was further described by Kahlbaum, and he differentiated it from the fluctuating mood of cyclothymia.[2]
  • In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), dysthymia as a clinical entity has undergone complex evolution from being considered a personality disorder to an affective disorder.


Classification

  • DSM-IV has classified chronic depression into dysthymic disorder and major depressive disorder, chronic type.
  • Based on the age of onset, DSM-IV has divided dysthymic disorders into early (before 21 years) and late-onset (after 21 years) subtypes. [5]
  • Early-onset dysthymic disorder is related to a higher familial burden of mood disorders and childhood adverse conditions. On the other hand, late-onset has an association with health issues and major losses.[5]
  • In DSM-IV, individuals having underlying dysthymic disorder who develop major depressive episodes are diagnosed as having both dysthymic disorder and major depressive disorder. So, DSM-IV has categorized dysthymic disorder and major depressive episodes as separate diagnoses instead of phases of a single disorder that fluctuates in severity over time.[6]
  • In spite of minor differences in the definitions of dysthymic disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) and International Classification of Diseases Tenth Edition (ICD-l0), both the systems are competent to establish the diagnosis.[7]
  • Dysthymia and chronic major depression are both included under the new term 'persistent depressive disorder' in DSM-5.[8]
  • Since the introduction in DSM-III, the diagnostic validity of dysthymia is questioned. It is a heterogeneous diagnosis including various depressive and anxiety conditions. As persistent depressive disorder includes dysthymia as a component, the former is more likely to represent a heterogeneous domain diagnosis. It limits the identification of the preferred treatment options. [9]

Pathophysiology

Clinical Features

  • The main features of dysthymia are
  • Dysthymia as compared to major depression, tends to be less intense and persists for a longer duration.
  • Other than the variation in magnitude of severity, both these conditions exhibit similar symptomatology.
  • To diagnose major depressive disorder, the symptoms should be present for a minimum duration of 14 days (2 weeks) whereas, dysthymia symptoms should be present for at least 2 years.
  • The symptoms of dysthymia can grow into a full-blown episode of major depression. The intense episode often exists with the underlying feelings of low mood and this resulting condition is called "double depression"[15]
  • As compared to the general population, the people with dysthymia have a greater-than-average chance of developing major depression.
  • While major depressive disorder mostly occurs in episodes, dysthymia lasts for longer periods, is consistent, and sometimes begins in childhood. Therefore, persons with dysthymia tend to consider depression as a part of their character.
  • Dysthymia and major depression, both are inheritable.
  • Some individuals describe dysthymia as being under chronic stress.
  • When treating cases, it is often difficult to distinguish if these people are actually under unusually high environmental stress or if the dysthymia causes them to be more psychologically stressed in a standard environment.

Differential Diagnosis

The differential diagnosis of dysthymia includes the following: [16]

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence

  • The 12-month prevalence of dysthymia is approximately 500 per 100,000 (0.5%) of the overall population.[17]

Age

  • Individuals of all age groups may develop dysthymia.
  • Based on the age of onset, the etiology of dysthymia varies.
  • The individuals with early onset dysthymia often have a history of physical or sexual abuse. They have also been found to have poor relationships with both the parents.[18]
  • Compared to adolescents, children display lesser variability in the symptoms of dysthymia.
  • 'Anhedonia' is a common characteristic in adolescents with dysthymia. [19]
  • In younger adults, dysthymia is related to the abnormalities of personality whereas, the elderly have a strong association with losses in life and other health-related issues. [20]

Gender

  • Dysthymia affects both men and women.
  • The prevalence of dysthymia is more in women compared to men.[21]
  • The symptomatic profile is similar in males and females of the adolescent population. While comparing the symptoms of dysthymia in both genders, no specific symptom predominance has been noticed. [22]
  • Gender differences have been noted in the elderly population.
  • In elderly men, dysthymia is more related to lower educational levels and in those receiving nursing home/ institutional care. No relation has been found based on occupation or marital status.[23]
  • As opposed to this, in elderly females, dysthymia is predominant in older individuals (70 years +), married, and in those with higher education levels. It is not related to marital status, occupation, or form of health care received. [24]

Race

  • Dysthymia has a higher lifetime prevalence in individuals of Mexican American and African American backgrounds. This can be explained by a number of factors dominating these populations: [25]
    • Lower education level
    • Poverty
    • Hesitancy in seeking help
    • Lesser utilization of mental health services
    • Failure to comply with treatment
    • Various cultural beliefs

Risk Factors

Common risk factors in the development of dysthymia are:[17][26]

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Prognosis

Overall, dysthymia has a worse prognosis than major depressive disorder. [31]

Poor prognostic factors related to dysthymia are: [17][32]

Diagnostic Criteria

DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria for Dysthymia

  • Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) is diagnosed using DSM-5 Criteria.[17]
DSM-5 DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR DYSTHYMIA SPECIFIERS
The following criteria should be fulfilled-



A. For at least 2 years, depression for most of the day as observed by the individual himself/herself or others. Irritable mood lasting at least 1 year for adolescents and children.


B. With depressed mood, presence of two or more of-

1.Reduced appetite or overeating

2. Fatigue or less energy

3.Low self-esteem

4.Indecisiveness or low concentration

5.Hyper or insomnia

6.Hopelessness


C. The person has never been without the symptoms mentioned in Criteria A and B for greater than 2 months at a time.


D. Criteria for major depressive disorder may be present continuously for two years.


E. Criteria have never been met for Cyclothymia and there has never been a hypomanic or manic episode.


F. The condition can not be explained by schizophrenia, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, or other schizophrenia spectrum disorder.


G. The symptomatology is not secondary to the effects of a substance or other medical condition.


H. Presence of clinically significant impairment in occupational, social, and other domains of functioning.

Psychotherapy

  • Evidence suggests the combination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy provides the greatest improvement in dysthymia. [42]
  • On the contrary, some studies point towards the inferiority of psychotherapy in treating dysthymia.[43]
  • There are different types of psychotherapies. The type of therapy chosen depends upon a number of factors like the nature of any stressful events, the availability of family and other social support, and personal preference.
  • Psychotherapy focuses mainly on education about the disease model, correcting the underlying cognitive distortions, and building up support.
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy is designed to examine and help correct the faulty, self-critical thought patterns and correct the cognitive distortions that persons with mood disorders commonly experience.[44]
  • Psychodynamic, insight-oriented, or interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) can find out the origin of the symptoms, address them appropriately, and explore the conflicts in important relationships which are further deteriorating the illness.[45]
  • IPT emphasizes resolving the conflict in current relationships that are exacerbating the depressive symptoms.[46]
  • Both CBT and IPT are effective for adolescents. Psychoeducation and psychosocial support provided to the parents of adolescents with dysthymia plays a very important role in the early and satisfactory response to these therapies.[47]
  • An adapted version for IPT is used for adolescents because they are in conflict with their parents as well as peers, limiting the outlet options for their emotional burden.[48]
