Despite meeting the criteria for PGD, 65% of participants in one study described their feelings as normal. Furthermore, 70% of participants in this study indicated that they would find a diagnosis of PGD to be unhelpful. It is important to note that unlike previous studies which revealed participants thought a PGD diagnosis to be helpful, whether or not they would receive treatment. This suggests that some individuals may desire to undergo treatment to work through their grief but may not find its diagnosis as a disorder to be particularly helpful. In some cases, treatment designed to help with ordinary grief may be beneficial.
