Answer 1

Dysthymia is long term depression, sometimes life long.  You really need to be diagnosed by a professional before you assume.  Tell your parents / guardian that you need to see a professional, if you don't feel comfortable doing that right now make an appointment with your school counselor.  Don't self-diagnose it won't help.
