Minor depressive disorder research (Assignment 4)
One issue: The article does not have any current information on minor depressive disorder or recent history on it, such as that it is not listed in the new DSM-5.

Two references: 1. Xavier, F. M., Ferraza, M. P., et al. (2002). `Minor depression' disorder in the oldest-old: Prevalence rate, sleep patterns, memory function and quality of life in elderly people of Italian descent in Southern Brazil. International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 17(2), 107-116. 2. Fils, J. M., Penick, E. C., Nickel, E. J., Othmer, E., DeSouza, C., Gabrielli, W. F., & Hunter, E. E. (2010).

Questions/Comments: 1. Even though this disorder is very similar to dysthymia, there is still new information on this disorder and more of a history on it with how it's not included in the DSM-5, so it should be enough to add more substance to this article. 2. Can we use the DSM-IV as a resource for information? Cdunn808 (talk) 22:26, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Problem: One problem I see with the article is that it really doesn’t give much about the history of the topic. There is likely a timeline for the recognition of this particular disorder. We could look at articles that first discuss the disorder or how the definition may have changed in prior DSM.

Questions: When figuring out which sources to use, is it okay if we use articles that refer to specific studies as long as they are peer-reviewed and published? Do you think it would be beneficial to do a History section in the article, to cover how it may have previously been defined or how it became a DSM disorder? --Treyler42 (talk) 06:19, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Problem:I think just one clear problem with the article is that there is no visual aids. As we continue revamping this article I think it would be helpful, especially for the everyday user, to include pictures. Both for possibly a better understanding of the content and to make it more aesthetically pleasing.

Questions/Comments: -During our training we were taught that all sections of the articles should be given equal space on the page. I think it may be tough to do that, especially with history. We may have to limit the history so it is not too overbearing. - Secondly how important is it that we provide hyper links to other articles? Theodore.Folk (talk) 03:42, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Problem: A problem I see with this article is that there is the Dysthymia article which in literature is considered Minor Depressive Disorder. I think finding information that is not in that article will be tricky as so we are not just writing that article all over again. Dysthymia was recently renamed Persistent Depressive Disorder in the DSMV 5. With all the name changes, I think finding sources will be tricky.

Questions: Can we merge this article when we add our parts to it, into the Dysthymia article for further clarity? I especially wouldn’t want to be a newly diagnosed person trying to find more information, but cannot figure out why all the names exist. Or since this is the older term, and if we can do a history section, we can instead ask to include Minor Depressive Disorder as a term under the Dysthymia article and link it to our article?
