The Necessity of Treating Complicated Grief

Writer's picture: Chaplain ArthurChaplain Arthur

If you or someone close to you is experiencing prolonged grief, it is essential to encourage treatment not only for their mental well-being but also for their physical condition. Grief is not an abnormal state but sometimes medications might be given for acute stress. "Those who are depressed before bereavement may need different interventions from those who develop depression only after the event. Depression and grief can be distinguished clinically, and statistically([7](

)), and even pharmacologically, as antidepressants do not improve grief symptoms([8](

))."9 Encourage those experiencing complex grief to seek treatment. Please message me for more information on an evidence-based program for the grieving.
