► Diagnosing major depressive disorder requires meeting five or more key criteria, including either depressed mood or anhedonia (loss of interest/pleasure) lasting for at least two weeks.

This Short covers critical symptoms such as appetite and weight changes, sleep disturbances (including hypersomnia and early awakening), psychomotor agitation or retardation, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, concentration problems, and recurrent suicidal thoughts.

Special emphasis is placed on the importance of asking patients about suicide and self-harm, and following up with questions about any plans or intentions to ensure safety.

Master these core diagnostic features to improve patient assessment and prepare for exams like the NCLEX and USMLE.
