Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) and The DSM-5: Potential Benefits
Another argument is that the addition of PGD to the DSM-5TR is beneficial. It is argued that officially including PGD as its own disorder allows it to become separate from other disorders such as PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder. It signifies grief as its own, separate thing. Furthermore, symptoms of PGD in grieving individuals may be mistakenly overlooked for an ordinary component of grief. Establishing it as its own psychological disorders allows for the patient's symptoms to be addressed and receive appropriate treatment.
