Dysthymia or Depression?
I have been very low for a very long time and have PCOD, Thyroid, Psoriasis. 6months back a psychiatrist diagnosed me with depression and recently consulted another doctor who said it's more of dysthymia.I feel like rejecting everything & shutting myself away or finding ways to avoid many things I enjoy otherwise.
