Here's a free practice question to get you in the mood:
A client reports having lost interest in activities she once enjoyed, feeling sad, having difficulty sleeping, and "very occasionally" having thoughts of suicide. Which of the following DSM-5 diagnoses is the most appropriate for this client?
A) Persistent Depressive Disorder
B) Major Depressive Disorder
C) Bipolar Disorder
D) Adjustment Disorder, Depressed Type
What's your answer?
The client exhibits symptoms consistent with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The key criteria for MDD include the presence of five or more symptoms, including a depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure in activities, lasting for at least two weeks. Persistent Depressive Disorder requires two years of ongoing low mood--not mentioned here. There's no mania, ruling out Bipolar Disorder. The suicidality indicates symptoms more severe than Adjustment Disorder. You have your answer!
