Expert In Dysthymia
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the group. Can someone give me advice in finding a psychiatrist who specializes in dysthymia? I've been depressed since Jr High School and I get worse every year (I'm 39 years old).

My regular psychiatrist keeps putting me on SSRIs which aren't working. I want a doctor with expertise in chronic low grade depression.

Thanks!
PJ

Just a thought. Maybe a psychiatrist working thru a university med center or hospital would be more open to other medications or treatments.

Will do. I found a couple who are listed in research studies but not sure if they actually see patients.

Great idea! I'm in Chicago so there's several medical schools/hospitals nearby.
