Persistent Depression Treatment in San Antonio

Persistent depression, also called dysthymia, is a long-lasting low mood that is present on most days for two years or more. Because it goes on so long, it can start to feel like part of who you are. It is not, and it can be treated.

Things to Know

Common questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Call us at (210) 286-7827.

Is this depression, or just grief or a rough patch?

Grief and hard seasons usually ease with time. Depression tends to persist, deepen, and affect daily functioning, which is why an evaluation can help clarify what's going on.

Will I have to be on medication indefinitely?

Not necessarily. Many people use medication for a defined period; others benefit from longer-term treatment. We'll decide together based on how you respond.

What if therapy alone isn’t helping enough?

That's common, and it's not a failure. Combining therapy with medication, or adjusting the approach, often makes a meaningful difference.
