Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
For depression symptoms to be classified as dysthymia, the client should have had a depressed mood for most of the day, most days for at least 2 years. The client subjectively describes this state, which may be observed by others. The presence of a depressed mood for less than 6 weeks, at least 3 months, or more than 6 months does not confirm the diagnosis of dysthymia.
