رجل عمره ٦٠ سنة توفيت زوجته قبل ٣ أسابيع، يبكي كثيراً ويحلم بها، لكنه يأكل وينام ويقابل أصدقاءه. ما التقييم الأنسب؟

A 60-year-old man whose wife died 3 weeks ago cries often and dreams of her, but eats, sleeps and sees friends. What is the best assessment?

1. Normal grief needing support
2. Psychosis because he dreams of her
3. Severe depression needing admission
4. Complicated grief needing drugs now

Answer: A) Normal grief needing support. Crying and yearning in the first weeks with preserved daily function is normal grief; concern arises with prolonged course, suicidal thoughts or loss of function.
