How can someone tell the difference between Kleine Levin Syndrome and cronic depression?


I have Hypothyroidism however, even under the proper dosage of synthroid (HGH), I often feel excessively drowzy and exhausted.

1 Klinefelter syndrome

Definition:

Klinefelter syndrome is a condition that occurs in men as a result of an extra X chromosome. The most common symptom is infertility.


Alternative Names:
47 X-X-Y syndrome
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:

Humans have 46 chromosomes, which contain all of a person's genes and DNA. Two of these chromosomes, the sex chromosomes, determine a person's gender. Both of the sex chromosomes in females are called X chromosomes. (This is written as XX.) Males have an X and a Y chromosome (written as XY). The two sex chromosomes help a person develop fertility and the sexual characteristics of their gender.

Klinefelter syndrome results in males who have at least one extra X chromosome. Usually, this occurs as a result of one extra X (written as XXY).

Klinefelter syndrome is found in about 1 out of every 500-1,000 newborn males. Women who have pregnancies after age 35 are slightly more likely to have a boy with this syndrome than younger women.
Dysthymia

Definition:




Dysthymia is a chronic form of depression, characterized by moods that are consistently low, but not as extreme as other types of depression.


Alternative Names:
Neurotic depression (dysthymia); Dysthymic disorder; Chronic depression; Depression - chronic
Causes, incidence, and risk factors:

The exact cause of dysthymia is unknown. Although the symptoms are not as severe as those of other forms of depression, affected people struggle nearly every day with low self-esteem, despair, and hopelessness.

Like all forms of depression, dysthymia occurs more frequently in women than in men and affects up to 5% of the general population. Dysthymia can occur alone or in conjunction with more severe depression or other mood or psychiatric disorders.
