Six years of never quite feeling well

Walter, 44, describes at least six years of persistent low mood, low energy, and poor self-esteem nearly every day, with some difficulty concentrating. He cannot recall a period during these six years when he felt genuinely well. However, he has continued working full-time throughout, still golfs weekly and says he enjoys it "just less than before," and has never had a period of appetite loss, weight change, or thoughts of self-harm. He has never had a period of elevated mood.
