Please submit the uworld bottom line and whether it is step 1 or step 2…
This is for step 1 Uworld ID (correction): 1347
Bottom line: Persistent depressive disorder (ie, dysthymia) is characterized by chronic depressed mood and accompanying depressive symptoms lasting for 22 years. It can often be differentiated from major depressive disorder by the number of concurrent depressive symptoms (eg, ≥5 needed for major depression).
suggestion is incorrect to change to 5. yes technically you need ≥5 to diagnose MDD, but one of those 5 has to be depressed mood or anhedonia. So it’s depressed mood or anhedonia, then 4 other sig e caps symptoms.
