Dysthymia
Dysthymia is a form of chronic, low-grade depression that can affect adults, teens and children. Symptoms of dysthymia, such as persistent sadness and low motivation, can have a significant impact on daily functioning and can last for years on end. Treatment for dysthymia usually involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes, such as getting regular exercise and eating a healthy diet. With proper treatment, patients may reduce their symptoms and lead a more productive, fulfilling and happy life.

In behavioral therapy, the past is still important as it often reveals where and when the unwanted behavior was learned, however it looks more so at present behavior and ways in which it can be rectified.
