I have been diagnosed with Dysthemia by the United States' Department of Homeland Security and they totally based it solely on the 45 minute interview conducted by St.Luke's (so-called) reliable panel psychiatrist. I find this definitely insulting. No one who had a brief conversation with me had any right to doubt my sanity.
NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill) says dysthemia is a chronic, but less severe form of depression. NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) says dysthemia is diagnosed when depressed mood persists for at least two years in adults (one year in children or adolescents) and is accompanied by at least two other depressive symptoms.
I am not a loon. Definitely.

I too worked for TSA and was told that I scared people. TSA has its main function to undermine the mental health and self confidence of all of its employees. If the Department of Homeland Security says that you are depressed it is only because they wanted an excuse to get rid of you. But if you are, indeed, depressed it is because they caused you to be that way. If I were you, I would consider it nonsequiter. Who cares what they say or think? The fact that that GESTAPO said that means nothing!
