Dysthymia
Dysthymia or persistent depressive disorder that is not as severe as major depressive disorder, but tends to last over a significant period of time. The symptoms for both forms of depression are the same, but the duration and the intensity of symptoms is the key point of distinction.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar 1 disorder is diagnosed based on one episode of mania(mental illness marked by periods of great excitement or euphoria, delusions, and overactivity. In this case might also lead to hospitalization.) and one major depressive episode. Bipolar 2 disorder is diagnosed when an individual suffers a major depressive episode that lasts at least 2 weeks and one episode of hypomania (a milder version of mania).
