Why is dysthymia difficult to diagnose?

One reason that dysthymia, or low-grade, unremitting depression, may be difficult to recognize in oneself is that it becomes such a deep-rooted way of viewing one's self, world, and expectations for the future that it appears to be an accurate reflection of reality rather than a distortion caused by a psychological problem. Some psychologists have argued that dysthymia should be considered a personality disorder, because it is so pervasive in the person's way of being in the world. People suffering from dysthymia may become resigned to the fact that their worldview and chronic low-grade suffering are all they can expect from life.

Occasionally, someone who suffers from dysthymia will also experience an episode of major depressive disorder, suffering from both illnesses at the same time.
