This is a travesty. Grieving for loss more than a year is a diagnostic criteria? NO. It takes as long as it takes to grieve for those we have lost. Grief is not a disorder. YOU'RE the disorder, psychiatry. #griefandloss #mourning #NotADisease #BigPharma nytimes.com/2022/03/18/healt…

Do you mind if I share an alternative framing?

I would love it if you did. Spread it around through your own words like butter spreads when melted

My thinking is that people who suffer from extended periods of grief deserve additional support if nothing else to help manage it. I can understand how the label of disorder might feel reductive or insulting, but people also find solace in understanding what is happening to them

Replying to @KellyRankin19
I don't think grief can be a disorder. It can persist. And yes I agree that support is important but it doesn't mitigate the fact that you lost the people that were your anchors or great loves. Never. Not if you truly loved.
