Traditionally, dysthymic disorder has not been the focus of pharmacotherapeutic interventions, given its chronicity and the presumed non-biological personality variables associated with it. Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis were generally considered the first-choice treatment options, although these treatment modalities have not been well studied in controlled trials. However, as a result of a series of placebo-controlled medical trials, this attitude has been changed. Among the antidepressants found to be superior to placebo are the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs, with results being evident so far with fluoxetine and sertraline), the tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) amitriptyline, desipramine, and imipramine (with a 40-60% favorable response), and the reversible and irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) moclobemide and phenelzine, respectively.
