Persistent depressive disorder (PDD), as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), merges the previous diagnoses of dysthymic disorder and chronic major depressive disorder. This condition is marked by a depressed mood lasting most of the day, for more days than not, over at least 2 years in adults or 1 year in children and adolescents. PDD can begin early in life and often becomes chronic, with symptoms that persist or fluctuate but never completely resolve. Individuals with PDD face a heightened risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, with functional impairments that can be as severe as or more severe than those experienced in major depressive disorder.The educational activity provides healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of PDD’s neurobiology, treatment modalities, and the critical role of interprofessional collaboration. Interprofessional teams bring diverse expertise and perspectives, leading to more accurate diagnoses, holistic treatment plans, and improved overall care for individuals with PDD.
