Global InformationHysteroid dysphoria information
Hysteroid dysphoria is a name given to repeated episodes of depressed mood in response to feeling rejected.[1]
There is a common misconception surrounding whether hysteroid dysphoria and rejection sensitivity are the same disorder. Hysteroid dysphoria was previously defined in psychiatry as ‘Rejection Sensitive Hysteroid Dysphoria’. This definition was changed to hysteroid dysphoria. Thus, hysteroid dysphoria and rejection sensitivity are sometimes used interchangeably.[2]
Currently, hysteroid dysphoria is regarded as an outdated term amongst most psychiatric diagnostic manuals, such as the DSM-5.[3] Thus, this disorder is not formally classified as a social personality disorder. However, the symptoms of hysteroid dysphoria remain prevalent across a variety of social personality and mood disorders.[4]
