It seems that you may be trying to start an argument, apologies if you're not.
It seems that you think mild depression and dysthymia are not serious conditions. However if you don't treat these conditions they are destined to turn into full blown severe depression. So I would say they are every bit as important as severe depression. Infact dysthymia can be just a debilitating and harder to treat.
I understand that you are frustrated by the percieved lack of treatments avaliable to you, but please don't discount those that with other forms of depression. Depression is depression and we're lucky we have the treatments we do.
