progressed at all through his grieving. You assess this condition as which of the
following?

Disenfranchised grief

panic disorder

complicated grief

Physiologic grief: correct answer:

Complicated grief

A person has uncomplicated grief when he or she has normal physical, psycholog-
ical, cognitive and spiritual responses to the death of a significant other. But when
the person shows persistent maladaptive behaviors such as not taking care of
personal hygiene and/or appearance and does not progress through the mourning
process, this is complicated grief.

antidepressants should not be prescribed within the recovery phase?

Duloxetine

Bbupropion

Desvenlafaxine: correct answer:
