1. Symptoms of grief are related to a specific loss and usually time limited in their intensity. Grieving patients remain connected to others and respond to their support. The patient does not report a significant loss of her ability to experience pleasure, nor a significant reduction in her ability to function, both of which are indicative of depression.
