SECTION 1: MOOD DISORDERS AND DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS (Questions 1-7)




**Question 1**



A 32-year-old woman presents with a 4-week history of depressed mood, anhedonia, fatigue,
insomnia, and difficulty concentrating. She reports these symptoms began after she was laid off from
her job. She has no prior history of depressive episodes. She denies suicidal ideation, mania, or
psychosis. Physical exam and labs are normal. What is the most likely diagnosis?



A) Major depressive disorder, single episode

B) Adjustment disorder with depressed mood

C) Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia)

D) Bipolar II disorder, depressed phase



**Answer:** A) Major depressive disorder, single episode



**Rationale:** The patient meets full criteria for major depressive episode (≥5 symptoms including
depressed mood or anhedonia for ≥2 weeks). While the episode was triggered by a stressor (job loss),
this does not preclude MDD. Adjustment disorder is diagnosed when symptoms do not meet full MDD
criteria or occur within 3 months of a stressor and resolve within 6 months. Persistent depressive
disorder requires symptoms for ≥2 years. Bipolar II requires history of hypomania.
