Is Dysthymic Disorder considered Unipolar Diorder?

Unipolar Disorder is just the two Mood Disorders: MDD and dysthymic disorder, correct?

‎"Unipolar depression" = MDD, but I think unipolar disorder includes dysthymic disorder as well.

No real clear info I can find on this from the official sources???

    Interesting.....

    When I was in a psych unit for a week I was diagnosed with MDD and dysthymia separately.

    Never heard of unipolar depression.

    Your genuine doubt can only be cleared by an authorized medical practitioner or a professionally qualified doctor.
