Dysthymia!

Dysthymia (dis-THIE-me-uh) is a chronic type of mild depression and it’s frequently undiagnosed. Symptoms usually last for at least two years in which a person’s moods are regularly or habitually low; being cynical, critical, apathetic and unable to enjoy life in general. Although symptoms are not as severe as with major depression, this condition interferes with one’s ability to function smoothly and enjoy life; many cope with this condition by using drugs and/or alcohol.
