The results of the test will reveal the likelihood of having the disorder. To confirm the diagnosis, it is necessary to consult with a mental health professional. If you have already been diagnosed with dysthymia, and are getting therapy, this test can be used to track your progress in the treatment phase on a monthly basis.
This test’s items covers all the symptoms of Dysthymic Disorder. However, as any other self-reported test, it does not replace proper professional assessment.
