Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) Treatment
Break Free from Chronic Low Mood and Embrace a Life of Purpose
Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD), also known as dysthymia, is a long-lasting form of depression that quietly erodes well-being over time. While the symptoms may appear milder than those of major depression, their constant presence can deeply affect relationships, motivation, and self-worth. At Star City Recovery, we specialize in helping individuals navigate this condition with care, clarity, and confidence.
Through personalized treatment, compassionate guidance, and a blend of therapeutic and holistic approaches, we empower clients to overcome the weight of persistent depression and rediscover a life filled with hope and possibility.

How Long-Term Low Mood Impacts Life and the Importance of Seeking Help
Understanding Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)
PDD is marked by a continuous low mood that lasts for at least two years in adults—or one year in children and teens. Though less intense than major depressive episodes, its chronic nature makes it especially disruptive over time.
Common symptoms of dysthymia include:
Ongoing feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Fatigue or low energy nearly every day
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Decreased interest in previously enjoyable activities
Changes in appetite or eating habits
Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or oversleeping
Poor self-esteem and persistent guilt
A negative outlook toward the future
Left untreated, PDD can evolve into more severe depression or contribute to substance use and other mental health issues. Early recognition and professional treatment are key to managing symptoms and building a stronger emotional foundation.
