Felisa's symptoms of feeling like a failure at work and as a wife and mother, stopping going to work, becoming extremely withdrawn from her family, spending most of her time in bed, and having frequent suicidal thoughts are all indicative of major depressive disorder. Dysthymic disorder has similar symptoms, but they are less severe and persistent than those of major depressive disorder.
