As highlighted earlier the major symptoms include low self-worth and low self esteem, with a gloomy attitude towards life, hopelessness, low energy levels and fatigue. Low appetite or over eating, Lack of sleep or too much of sleep. Poor concentration and difficulty making decisions also hinder the normal day to day life functioning of the patient. When these symptoms exist at least for one year and continuosly for two years, they indicate towards Dysthymia.
The diagnosis is made on the basis of pattern of these mental and physical conditions as they are observed or informed by the patient and also for how long they were prevalent. There could be certain other complications might be accompanied, so a proper diagnosis can only be made by an qualified mental health proffessional.
