Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Small, achievable goals are the hallmark of helping a depressed person. One goal today is more concrete and achievable than one to be completed in a month. Talking about failures emphasizes negativity. The depressed patient may have no energy to identify the next best action.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The symptoms are less severe than major depressive disorder but have gone on for long periods.
