DEUIL ET DÉPRESSION
“Responses to a significant loss (e.g., bereavement…) may
include the feelings of intense sadness, rumination about the loss,
insomnia, poor appetite, and weight loss noted in the Criterion A
[for MDE], which may resemble a depressive episode.
Although such symptoms may be understandable or considered
appropriate to the loss, the presence of a MDE in addition to the
normal response to a significant loss should also be carefully
considered. This decision inevitably requires the exercise of clinical
judgment based on the individual’s history and cultural norms for
the expression of distress in the context of loss.” (p. 125-126)
