This is why MDD must be differentiated from the scenarios you describe. An accurate diagnosis is the goal. I wonder if DMS V will be any better than the anemic DMS IV regarding distinguishing depressive disorders from depression that is predominately psychogenic. A question that has occurred to me lately is whether or not antidepressants can help with situational or psychogenic depression. Maybe they can. I have never seen a study addressing this issue. Make the presence of MDD or BD an exclusion rather than an inclusion.
