A friend of yours expressed feelings of depression for a few days after a stressful event, but is able to go back to their usual behavior and functioning after the few days’ pass. Could this person be diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder? Why or why not? What criteria do we give the symptoms of Depression so that we can consider a diagnosis?

No, they could not

Explanation:

Major depressive disorder is a lasting thing. There is a difference between feeling depressed and having depression. To be diagnosed with MDD they need to have been experiencing these symptoms for 2 or more weeks. I they go back to regular functioning after a couple days, that's just feeling depressed, or down.
