Prolonged Grief Disorder

Prolonged Grief Disorder is a condition where someone experiences intense, persistent mourning that lasts much longer than usual, interfering with daily life. Unlike typical grief, which gradually lessens over time, this condition involves ongoing feelings of sadness, yearning, and emotional pain that can last for months or years after a loss. It may also include difficulty accepting the death or feeling detached from others. Prolonged Grief Disorder can significantly affect mental health and functioning, but with appropriate support and therapy, individuals can work through their grief and find ways to heal.
