Online psychologist for Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)
Please note: our sessions are held in Italian only.
Dysthymia (persistent depressive disorder) is a less intense but longer-lasting form of depression: a 'grey' mood that persists for at least two years. It is often normalised as 'just who I am', but it is a treatable condition through psychotherapy.
Signs not to ignore
- Depressed mood for most of the day, for at least two years
- Low self-esteem and constant self-criticism
- Chronic fatigue and a lack of enthusiasm for life
- Difficulty making decisions and pervasive pessimism
How online therapy can help
Those living with dysthymia often don't realise they can feel better. An online psychological path helps recognise the problem and build real change, even after years of distress.

Is dysthymia less serious than depression?
It is different: less acute but more enduring. Dysthymia deserves professional treatment just as much as other forms of depression.
Is long-term therapy necessary?
It depends on the individual: many online paths last from a few months to a year, with benefits often visible within the first few weeks.
