Prolonged Grief Disorder has recently been formally added to the DSM-5-TR. But are mental health professionals pathologizing a normal part of the human experience? We invited psychiatrist, researcher, and Director of the Center for Prolonged Grief at Columbia University School of Social Work, Dr. Katherine Shear, to discuss the differences between grief as a disorder and grief as a normal reaction. Besides being at the forefront of the movement to include prolonged grief as a disorder, she has also developed a therapy to help those suffering from overwhelming, extended grieving.
