                        I just heard about dysthymia for the first time today.  Although I haven't seen a Dr. for this yet, I believe I have been living with dysthymia for about 10 years now. I did go to a psyc. once, but he said I just have the "blues" and he couldn't help me.  Well, the "blues" are still here and it has been 8 years since then.  Right now I am just glad to finally have a name for the way I feel.  Now I feel like I can go to the Dr. and not seem like I'm overreacting to the stress in my life. I hope you have found a good Dr. that has helped you.
