Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tiffany's symptoms, feeling mildly depressed for years and struggling with self-worth, are consistent with persistent depressive disorder (formerly known as dysthymia). This disorder involves a less severe but chronic form of depression lasting at least two years. Unipolar depression refers to a single episode of major depression, while double depression involves both persistent depressive disorder and major depressive episodes. Bipolar disorder involves episodes of both depression and mania or hypomania. These symptoms are not present in Tiffany's case.
