Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) Treatment
Break Free from the Weight of Chronic Sadness and Reclaim Your Life
Persistent Depressive Disorder (PDD), also known as dysthymia, is a long-term form of depression that can quietly erode your energy, confidence, and sense of fulfillment. While its symptoms may not be as acute as major depression, the ongoing nature of dysthymia often leads to emotional fatigue and disconnection from the world around you—especially when compounded by substance use.
At Innervisions Recovery Center, we specialize in treating dysthymia as part of a dual diagnosis care plan. By combining evidence-based therapies, holistic wellness practices, and a compassionate support system, we help individuals rediscover joy, resilience, and purpose.

Understanding Persistent Depressive Disorder
When Low Mood Becomes a Constant Companion
Dysthymia is marked by a consistently low mood that persists for two years or longer in adults. It may include brief periods of more intense depression (known as “double depression”), but often lingers in the background—quietly impacting relationships, productivity, and self-esteem.
Common symptoms include:
Ongoing sadness or a sense of emptiness
Low energy and fatigue
Loss of interest in hobbies or social activities
Changes in sleep (either insomnia or oversleeping)
Appetite fluctuations or weight changes
Trouble focusing or making decisions
Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
A persistent sense of hopelessness
Individuals with dysthymia may function day-to-day, but inside, they feel disconnected, numb, or overwhelmed. Many turn to substances as a way to cope—creating a deeper, more complex cycle that requires integrated treatment.
