Dysthymia

Basically, lingering depression.

Dysthymic people tend to feel detached, unhappy, tired, hopeless. While Dysthymic symptoms tend to be less severe than the symptoms found in other, less permanent types of depression, they can linger with a person for their entire life. Usually, in adults, mild depression that lasts for more than 2 years is the definition.

Most suffering from dysthymic depression couldn't tell you the last time they felt truely happy.

Sadly, this is one of the least treated, or diagnosed forms of depression, as the subject tends to believe that these feelings are normal. However, anti-depressants can be very effective in correcting dysthymia.

Everyone said that he always seemed exceptionally detached and unhappy, but nobody knew he was suffering from dysthymia.

Dystopia

By definition the total opposite of a utopia often caused by the complete collapse of an attempt at creating said utopia. The primary issue with utopia is that no two people can 100% agree on everything 100% of the time. The other and much bigger issue is that some tyrannical entity (individual or group) will take control and twist it to serve only them resulting in a societal hell and the suffering of others. Sir Thomas More wrote Utopia defining both Utopia and Dystopia (a term he had coined). George Orwell's novel 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World both show what happens in a dystopian society. The common traits are dehumanization, tyranny, ecological disasters, societal collapse, and the like.

After the Russians overthrew the Czar and the Aristocracy the Communists took over and promised a utopia only for it to become a dystopian nightmare where many millions suffered and died.

dystopia

A bogus utopia run on propaganda; ruled by a repressive government which breaks promises, dashes the hopes of its citizens and destroys wealth.

The X party promised to turn the country into a utopia, if elected. But all they did was create a dystopia by ruining the economy, and squander the nation's resources.
