A
Minor depressive disorder has been proposed for clients who suffer from less severe symptoms of depression that may interfere with their functioning but may not qualify for a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. However, this diagnosis has yet to be validated for formal inclusion in DSM. Minor depression can be brief or associated with fewer than the five symptoms required for a diagnosis of major depressive disorder.
