First one is Major Depression..

The second q is Bereavment, 1 month of symptoms & the pt is functioning (working)

IF the symptoms are LESS than a year and they are having suicidal thoughts without a real plan, is it considered normal grief or deperssion.
Kap says: Grief -suicidal ideation RARE vs Depression -suicidal ideation common.

the answer for the old man is depression and sertraline ...7 mnth duration ...it seems it meets teh criteria for major depressive disorder
the second one is normal bereavemnt reaction as it is common till 6 mnths.

B. in this case, because he said he doesn't feel suicidal. but what about he has idea of commit a suicide. this will change the answer?

Bereavment. and UW said is normal until 2 mo.
