Hi,
Having suffered from difficult to treat depression now for the last five years, I'm wondering what the difference is between Treatment Resistant Depression and Dysthymia.
I believe that my basic, non drugged medicated mood is dysthymic, in that I'm able to function and work but feel empty most of the time, unable to reallly enjoy anything or be really interested in anything and most of the time I'm just faking it. When I go on holiday I just feel worse because I feel so empty and I often feel suicidal, either I just want to die or if somebody told me that I had only a few months to live it wouldn't really matter that much.
I'm scared that this is it for life.
Does anyone on this board know what the difference is between Dysthymia and Treatment Resistant Depression? Is there a difference?
Thanks.....Denise
