title: What distinguishes prolonged grief disorder from depression?
abstract: Prolonged grief disorder, which is proposed as a new diagnosis in ICD-11, and depression have some similarities but also several key differences. In order to provide the correct help and treatment, it is important for doctors to be able to ascertain whether a person is struggling with prolonged grief or has become depressed following the loss of a loved one.
