Question

What DSM-5 diagnostic criteria (if any) does this individual meet? Identify the diagnosis with all appropriate specifiers (if applicable), corresponding code, and pages in the DSM-5. Jane, a 30-year-old married female, was brought to a local community mental health center by her mother and was interviewed by a clinical social worker. Jane reports feelings of severe depression and hopelessness and states, "I've barely been able to care for my daughter and my home for the past 2 weeks." Accompanying symptoms included loss of appetite, difficulty falling asleep, feelings of fatigue, and severe guilt. Jane and her husband have been married for 8 years and have a 5-year-old child. Her husband is in the military, necessitating frequent absences from home. Jane always found these absences difficult and has encouraged her husband to leave the service. He complains that she is too dependent on him and has urged her to develop her own interests. She did work part-time as an aide in her child's school but otherwise has had few outside activities and few supporters outside of her mother, who was widowed when Jane was a child. Conflict has been increasing in the marriage and reached a peak about 3 weeks ago,
