Are you struggling to move forward after losing a loved one? Or feel emotionally numb? This grief disorder test is designed to help you explore if your grief is interfering with your ability to function a normal life.
Perhaps you feel stuck, disconnected from the world, or like life has lost its meaning. If so, you might be experiencing more than just typical grief, you may be showing signs of prolonged grief disorder.
While grief is a deeply personal and natural response to loss, in some cases, it can evolve into a condition known as prolonged or complicated grief.
What Is Grief Disorder?
It is formally recognized as prolonged grief disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), refers to persistent or intense feelings of grief. This extends beyond the expected mourning period.
While most people adjust to life after loss gradually, those who suffer from prolonged grief disorder symptoms may find it difficult to re-engage with daily life, even after many months or years after the event.
This condition can impair a person’s ability to function at home, at work, and relationships.
According to the DSM-5, this condition is diagnosed when someone continues to experience intense grief for at least 6 months in adults or 12 months in children and teens.
Prolonged Grief Disorder Symptoms Include:
These symptoms can leave you feeling stuck, isolated, and unsure of how to move forward.
If you are experiencing any of the following, you may be dealing with signs of grief disorder:
A sense of disbelief about the death
Avoiding of reminders that the person is gone
Sadness, anger, or bitterness related to the loss
Difficulty engaging in friendships, pursuing goals, or planning for the future
Emotional numbness
Deep sense of loneliness
