“…Under this condition, a number of interventional studies were conducted in North America and in Hong Kong, suggesting that positive youth development programs are associated with reduced problematic behaviors including depression, and additionally promotes positive development [ 23 , 50 , 51 ].

Background: This study aimed to investigate a one-year course of persistent/remitted depressive symptoms and associated demographic and psychosocial factors that predict persistent/remitted depressive symptoms in Chinese high school students. Methods: One thousand five hundred forty-four Grade 7 students provided data for the first wave. Of the initially recruited students, 483 who were classified as depressed (CESD score ≥ 16) at baseline were then tracked and invited to fill in the questionnaire for a second time (Grade 8) after 1 year. Finally, 435 of them were successfully matched. Results: Two hundred two (46.4%) of the subset categorized as depressed in the first survey (N = 435) remained with depressive symptoms, while 233 (53.6%) recovered from depression 1 year later. Having siblings, a lower level of positive youth development, non-intact family status, and poor family functioning at baseline significantly predicted a higher likelihood of persistent depression, while those with fathers having higher educational qualifications (bachelor's degree or higher) at baseline showed a significantly higher probability of remitting from depression. Conclusions: The findings indicated that the prevalence of persistent depressive symptoms was generally high, and promoting aspects of positive youth development and family functioning for adolescents could be promising in preventing or reducing these symptoms.

“…Gender is also a possible risk factor for persistent depressive disorder because girls are more likely to suffer from depressive disorder during adolescence [1]. After taking research about 3.3 million adults, the prevalence by gender is approximately to be 4.1% for women and 2.2% for men, and the total rate of people whose age is 18 or above in the U.S. population is 1.5%.…”

“…Successful cases prove some forms of psychotherapies are effective treatments for depression [10]. The most common treatments include different forms of interpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychotropic medication [1].

“…Persistent depressive disorder is described as a mood disorder with long time depressive symptoms. The depressive mood symptoms need to display most of the day for at least two years or at least one year in children and young people [1]. Patients with the persistent depressive disorder need a more extended treatment period, more psychotherapy sessions, and higher measurement of antidepressant medication than patients with intense forms of depression.…”

This paper is a general review of persistent depressive disorder. By reviewing pertinent literature, this paper focuses on etiology, impacts, treatments, and recommendations for future improvement. Persistent depressive disorder affects all ages people. Young people with persistent depressive disorder need special attention because if not receiving treatment early, it will deteriorate into major depressive disorder, especially in early-onset patients. Although the persistent depressive disorder has been shown to have strong associations with other depressive disorders and even affect cognition, such as spatial working memory, relationships are still not clear and not empirically tested. Several factors will increase the likelihood of persistent depressive disorder, including family and heredity factors. In addition to the worsening of the disease due to untimely treatment, there is a high chance of recurrence in the future. This is not a disorder that can be easily cured and can take years to fight it. In all, this study provides new thinking for the understanding of persistent depressive d in both theory and practice.
