Kent's fifth grade teacher reports that Kent has recently changed from being a happy
and outgoing child to being sad and withdrawn.
She first noticed the change last
month when Kent stopped playing and talking with his peers and appeared depressed
or angry. In addition, Kent often appears distracted and off-task, and needs prompts to
complete his work. Although Kent used to be an A level student, his grades have
fallen because of his poor work completion and accuracy. Given this information, it is
likely that Kent would meet criteria for a diagnosis of:
a. Major depressive disorder, single episode
b. Major depressive disorder, recurrent episode
c. Dysthymic disorder, early onset
d. Dysthymic disorder, late onset
e. Bipolar disorder
