A 17-year-old girl is brought to the physician by her father because she has been experiencing a depressed mood for the 3 months. She broke up with her boyfriend a day before her symptoms began. She has avoided going to school for the last 3 weeks because she feels the stress of seeing her ex-boyfriend there would be too much to bear. Additionally, she has isolated herself in her room and has written many poems and songs about mistrust, death, and loneliness. She has not left the house since the breakup and frequently cries, often spontaneously with no identifiable cause. She continues to experience a normal appetite, has adhered to a normal sleep schedule, and continues to enjoy television programs. What is the most likely diagnosis? A. Acute stress disorder B. Adjustment disorder C. Delusional disorder D. Major depressive disorder E. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
