Jan 30

I have to write a paper on the type of depression or the disorder that occurs following the death of someone you love, like a family member, but I can’t remember the name of the actual disorder. Help?

Chosen Answer:

It is called natural depression.

It is grief and it is a normal reaction to a death of a loved one.
