Three weeks, missed shifts, no prior history

Karen, 52, reports three weeks of low mood nearly every day, loss of interest in gardening and reading which she usually enjoys, poor concentration at work, reduced appetite, and mild feelings of guilt about "not pulling my weight" at home. She has missed several days of work this week, though she has managed to attend on other days. She reports no thoughts of self-harm, and no delusions or hallucinations. She has never had a period of low or elevated mood before.
