A form of chronic depression that tends to be less severe than severe depression, but lasts much longer, usually years.
This form of depression seems to be more endogenious - probably genetic. It responds
well to low-moderate levels of antidepressants.
If untreated it often excalates to full major depression, it rarely remits fully but rather returns to low level depression.
