When examining patient records for the potential to do excellent work, you see that the patient has some depressive symptoms. The most notable symptom is:
  1. Anhedonia
  2. Clarity of thought
  3. Distinct differences in appetite
  4. Willingness to change
Explanation
Answer - A - Willingness to change and clarity of thought are not especially symptoms of especially depressed persons. Rather, weight differentials and anhedonia are significant as they relate to depression. Anhedonia is the most notable symptom, since it is defined to include loss of pleasure, interest, and depth in any number of subjects, but most primarily those that were a source of enjoyment before the onset of depressive symptoms.
