Abnormal Psychology Diagnosis

I spoke with my uncle for the past two weekends when I went home, whom I will call participant for the duration of the paper. He has been very depressed lately. He spoke to me for about an hour and I asked him what was wrong and why he seemed so down. Well, he stated to me that he just was feeling very well lately and that he was going to die soon. He does …

…of not being able to sleep and no feeling very well and signs that he told me his doctor said he observed that fit some of the criteria for dysthymia such as depressed mood for more days than not for at least two years, overeating, insomnia, low energy, and feeling low, I would have to say that his schizophrenia is the sole cause to these ailments. Therefore my diagnosis would not be dysthymia. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
