	Dysthymia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dysthymia or dysthymic disorder is a form of the mood disorder of depression characterized by a lack of enjoyment/pleasure in life that continues for at least two years.
		It differs from clinical depression in the severity of the symptoms.
		For mild or moderate depression, the American Psychiatric Association in its 2000 Treatment Guidelines for Patients with Major Depressive Disorder advises psychotherapy alone or in combination with an antidepressant as possibly appropriate.

	Clinical depression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clinical depression was originally considered to be a chemical imbalance in transmitters in the brain, a theory based on observations made in the 1950s of the effects of reserpine and isoniazid in altering monoamine neurotransmitter levels and affecting depressive symptoms
		Depression in children is not as obvious as it is in adults.
		This idea of co-occurring anxiety and depression is supported in a study by Giovanni Cassano MD of the University of Pisa and his collaborators on the Spectrum Project, who found a correlation between lifetime hypomanic and manic symptoms and the severity of the depression.

	Double Depression: Dysthymia - Dysthymic Disorder and Major Depression - Clinical Depression
		The treatment goal in double depression is to get the person feeling better than he or she felt before.
		Treatment for double depression is virtually the same as that for major depression.
		However, because people with double depression have often not been treated for their dysthymia, the goal of treatment is to get the person to feel better than she did before the episode of major depression.

		People with diabetes are twice as likely to suffer depression as non-diabetics, says a new study that suggests depression may contribute to diabetes in some patients.

	Depression - Vitacost (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Other researchers have reported dramatic reductions in depression at extremely high amounts of DHEA (90–450 mg per day) given for six weeks to adults who first became depressed after age 40 (in men) or at the time of menopause (in women) in a double-blind trial.
		In a preliminary trial, elderly women suffering from depression who were given 300 mg of PS per day for 30 days experienced, on average, a 70% reduction in the severity of their depression.
		An analysis of four properly conducted trials of severely depressed patients comparing the effects of one form of counseling intervention, cognitive behavior therapy, with the effects of antidepressant drugs was published in 1999.

	eMedicine - Dysthymic Disorder : Article Excerpt by: Sarah Guzofski, MD
		Background: Dysthymic disorder is a depressive mood disorder characterized by a chronic course and an insidious onset.
		The current consensus is that major depressive disorder, dysthymia, double depression (a major depressive episode superimposed upon underlying dysthymia), and some apparently transient dysphorias all are manifestations of the same disease process.
		For major depression to be diagnosed, depressed mood and/or significant loss of interest or pleasure in activities must be present.

	Depression
		Depression, characterized by unhappy feelings of hopelessness, can be a response to stressful events, hormonal imbalances, biochemical abnormalities, or other causes.
		However, when depression becomes recurrent, constant, or severe, it should be diagnosed by a licensed counselor, psychologist, social worker, or psychiatrist.
		Lifestyle changes and herbs may be used with people whose depression results from a variety of causes, but dietary and nutrient interventions are usually best geared to endogenous depression.
