apathetic. Although several months have passed since his wife's death he has not
progressed at all through his grieving. You assess this condition as which of the
following?
disenfranchised grief

complicated grief

personal hygiene and/or appearance and does not progress through the mourning
process, this is complicated grief.

psychotics. A milky white discharge known as galactorrhea could be a sign of an
