Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder & Prolonged Grief Disorder
As medical professionals, we are often tasked with helping our patients navigate the complexities of grief and loss. Losing a loved one is a deeply painful experience that can trigger a range of emotions, from sadness and anger to confusion and numbness.
While grief is a normal part of the human experience, for some individuals, the grieving process can become prolonged and complicated, leading to persistent complex bereavement disorder (PCBD) or prolonged grief disorder (PGD). These conditions are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, leading to confusion and unnecessary suffering.
Here is one slide from our academy’s presentation comparing these conditions:
