What is the best DSM-5-TR answer?

A 34-year-old teacher reports nearly seven weeks of low mood, early morning waking, loss of appetite, reduced concentration, guilt about being a burden, and withdrawal from work and family. Symptoms are present nearly every day, including during previously enjoyable activities, and they have stopped managing their usual teaching workload. Their lifetime mood history describes a steady baseline before these seven weeks. Their substance-use history and a medical assessment identify no explanatory cause.
