i have had all of them. i think meds help with eating and sleep, and a little bit with thoughts of suicide. that is about it. the other symptoms go away more gradually. dysthymia is considered a less severe form of major depression, and lasts much longer. you prob aready know that. i have found that meds help more with major depression than with dysthymia. perhaps it is b/c dysthymia becomes a lifestyle, a way of living, that is much harder to treat by tweaking neurotrans levels. i find the subject of free will facinating. i wonder if treatment resistent people, at some level, refuse to do what others who are helped "do." what exactly that is, i have little clue. thanks for the brain rush.
