ICD-11 Criteria for Dysthymic Disorder (Dysthymia) 6A72
Dysthymic disorder is
characterised by a persistent depressive mood (i.e., lasting 2 years or more),
for most of the day, for more days than not. In children and adolescents
depressed mood can manifest as pervasive irritability. The depressed mood is
accompanied by additional symptoms such as markedly diminished interest or pleasure
in activities, reduced concentration and attention or indecisiveness, low
self-worth or excessive or inappropriate guilt, hopelessness about the future,
disturbed sleep or increased sleep, diminished or increased appetite, or low
energy or fatigue. During the first 2 years of the disorder, there has never
been a 2-week period during which the number and duration of symptoms were
sufficient to meet the diagnostic requirements for a Depressive Episode. There
is no history of Manic, Mixed, or Hypomanic Episodes.
