Dysthymic disorder is characterised as a chronic state of depressed mood which is not otherwise attributable to physical, psychological or social events. While it can occur alone, there is increasing evidence that the majority of individuals who meet criteria for dysthymic disorder also experience more severe episodic mood disorders throughout their lifetime, and there is also an aggregation of mood disorders within their family members. Patients with dysthymic disorder are most often seen in primary care. Some researchers suggest that the majority of these individuals are never diagnosed or are not diagnosed until a more severe episodic mood disorder develops. The objective of this study was to determine the 12-month prevalence of Axis I psychiatric disorders, and in particular dysthymic disorder, in a primary care Health Service Organization in Ontario, Canada.
