    Correct Answer
    A. Down most of the day nearly every day over a period of 1 week.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Down most of the day nearly every day over a period of 1 week." This is not a DSM-IV criteria for depression because the DSM-IV requires the presence of depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities for a period of at least two weeks. The statement "Down most of the day nearly every day over a period of 1 week" does not include the required duration of two weeks.

    People with depression may experience various symptoms such as trouble with normal functioning, difficulty maintaining relationships, anxiety, and crying easily and more often. However, extreme delusions of guilt are unlikely to occur in individuals with depression. While feelings of guilt and self-blame are common in depression, extreme delusions of guilt typically go beyond what is typically observed in depressive disorders. These delusions involve irrational and exaggerated beliefs of being responsible for all the problems in the world, which are more commonly associated with other mental health conditions such as psychotic disorders.
