well seems like adjustment disorder but thats not a choice; PTSD seems tempting but guy has all criteria of depression so i am not sure
go will Major Depression.
i am maybe wrong on this one :?

HE MIGHT JUST HAVE 'SUBCLINICAL DEPRESSION' COZ THE MAN IS NOT COMPLAINING OF LOW MOOD ..... WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR DIAGNOSIS OF MAJOR DEPRESSION.....BUT THEN HE DOES HAVE ANHEDONIA.....SO MAJOR DEPRESSION IS AGAIN A POSSIBILITY. I WOULD GO WITH MAJOR DEPRESION TOO.

it is indeed major depressive disorder. subclinical depression does not stand a chance since all the symptoms are evident. and after all acute clinical depression is a clinical diagnosis. in this vignette hardly there is any ambiguity, it is a simple straight forward major depressive disorder. congrats loser girl and zaki!
