Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Dysthymia is neurotic depression, mild but may take some time to cure, usually around two years. It is not psychoses and therefore is not severe. Education and awareness about the chronic depression (dysthymia) is to be given to the patient and that is the first and concrete step towards cure process. Simple counseling methods may not work well. But psychotherapy (Especially Cognitive Behavior Therapy and RET) alongwith meditation and relaxation works wonders in management. Do consult a psychologist.

Good luck.
