1.1 Persistent Depressive Disorder

DSM-5 has added the diagnosis "persistent depressive disorder" for individuals whose depression is chronic ― either in severe or mild form (called dysthymic disorder). The young man in this video seems to display a severe form of this disorder. The video takes an in-depth look at the impact of symptoms of clinical depression on his life. You'll see the man’s physical and psychological state through a series of interactions, interviews, and personal video diary segments that take place over an extended period.
