Answer to Question 1

Answer: A person must experience five or more depression symptoms including loss of interest or pleasure for at least two weeks straight to be diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Dysthymia is milder, chronic depression that persists for at least two years.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The student may have trouble remembering, concentrating, and following directions. He or she may also be anxious, chronically late, and disorganized; may have problems in relationships; and may have academic difficulties because the disorder makes it difficult to complete tasks.
