Disorder in which the exclusion for bereavement was removed from DSM criteria.
What is Major Depressive Disorder?
Using DSM-IV, clinicians were advised to refrain from diagnosing major depression in individuals within the first two months following the death of a loved one in what has been referred to as the “bereavement exclusion.” By advising clinicians not to diagnose depression in recently bereaved individuals, the DSM-IV bereavement exclusion suggested that grief somehow protected someone from major depression. As part of the ongoing study of major depression, the bereavement exclusion has been removed from DSM. Removing the bereavement exclusion helps prevent major depression from being overlooked and facilitates the possibility of appropriate treatment including therapy or other interventions.
