Grief, Depression, and the DSM-5

Abstract
Nearly 2.5 million Americans die each year, leaving behind an even larger group of grief-stricken people.1 Such a universal human experience as grief is recognized by the lay public and medical professionals alike as an entirely normal and expected emotional response to loss. Clinicians and researchers have long known that, for the vast majority of people, grief typically runs its course within 2 to 6 months and requires no treatment.
