How To Treat Dysthymia?

I am a true codependent married 6 times and still have worries at 64 years old that I may make this mistake again. I have been diagnosed with having dysthymia which stems from growing up. I am a mild dysthemic person. At 64 and retired I don t want to make any more mistakes. Having had therapy for 12 and a half years I am at my wits end. This all goes back to my memory at 2 years old. Can you help me? At this point I am very frightened. I am a Christian. There are on going dependencies between all these ridiculous marriages and I don t want to live alone. please help me! I have maintained excellent credit and should be very dependent. Help!

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You do not want to repeat the mistakes of your past, well said. As you said, dysthymia is often disappointing. Years of research by eminent researchers (including me) do confirm that medicines alone cannot cure any depressive disorders. Researches also conclude that psychotherapy and relaxation exercises and meditation have a very good effect on these. Therefore, please consult a psychotherapist.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
