I think its with b or c?
Well -- does it or doesn't it interfere with normal life?
I think its D, mainly because I suffer from major depression and this option is true; that depressive disorder in itself is quite harsh, just as any depression is, but it does not interfere as much in the daily routine and does not stick around as long as major depression disorder does. Normally depression disorder is caused by a death in the family, or hings such as this which will commonly be a minimum of time to get over it, perhaps with therapy; whereas major depression is often long term. I will post whether It is C or D when I finish the exam.
