I kind of envision a continuum thing for mood reactivity---there is the momentary smiling at a joke at one end to more significant mood reactivity on the other, like the way kids or teens who are depressed might have better mood for a while in response to a change in the environment,etc. But even that doesn't mean the depression is gone.
I, too have double depression, and it is mostly mood reactive, less so during the acute episodes than during the chronic. Lately, I have been better, with some slumpy periods, but none of the serious episodes; even the dysthymia is mild.
