Where did you get the spelling? I come up with this: ------------------ dysthymic disorder Chronically depressed mood that occurs for most of the day more days than not for at least 2 years. The required minimum duration in children to make this diagnosis is 1 year. During periods of depressed mood, at least 2 of the following additional symptoms are present: poor appetite or overeating, insomnia or hypersomnia, low energy or fatigue, low self esteem, poor concentration or difficulty making decisions, and feelings of hopelessness. (dsm-IV) ------------------ Your "Dystemia" is not showing anywhere save for the two sites you list above. I even checked medical dictionaries and medical search engines such as "PubMed". If you think the "dysthymic disorder" is actually what you seek, then give us the go and we can research it further for you. Alan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
