Choosing the Right Cure for Chronic Depression- Part 6

Posted February 28th, 2009.

Dysthymia is another name for chronic depression.  This disease can be serious, although not as serious as attacks with major depression.  Someone who knows you may have chronic depression, but you have no idea.  Having a regular life is very possible for people with this condition. 

It’s not unusual for them to continue everyday activities such as attending school or having a social life without great difficulties.  Of course it’s invisible to the outside world because the effects from this illness are on the inside.  The effects are mental and physical. Chronic Depression can be around you for a long period of time without you knowing that you are experiencing it.
