Depressive Personality Disorder and Dysthymia Information

This is a site to discuss conceptualizing and treating all types of chronic depression, with specific focus on the nature of the depressive personality disorder (offered as for further research in the DSM-IV and DSM-IV-TR) and dysthymic disorder. There are links to relevant resources, journal article and book/book chapter recommendations and a discussion forum where you can post relevant materials you find or discuss publications (including a future one from me that I will update you on if you register with the yahoo group) You can also get more information about these disorders at the websites www.DepressivePersonalityDisorder.com and www.DysthymicDisorder.net. which perhaps is how you may have gotten here as well. The site will also likely be of interest to anyone interested in mood or affective disorders such as bipolar and personality disorders in general. Feel free to kick off the discussion in the discussion forum with a recommendation for a website, article, your opinions about the Depressive Personality or anything else even mildly relevant to the concept of Depressive Personality Disorder, Dysthymic Disorder / Dysthymia, chronic depression or personality disorders in general. I also think discussion of DSM-V would be relevant and interesting.
