There are stages of grief that we all go through with loss. Some people progress at a relatively even pace through these steps.
The order of "Stages of Death" are referred to with the acronym D.A.B.D.A. = Denial, Anger, (Bargaining if they are the dying one)Bereavement, Depression and Acceptance. Some people get stuck on one stage or another.
The brain has a way of protecting our bodies from things we just can not face. When a person suffers such a loss that their mind can not deal with it, the brain has to find a way to cope. For some it just simply shuts the world out. The key to opening up the world to them again is helping them through each step in order. For that, turn to a professional. It sounds like the person you are referring to is stuck in the depression stage. Some never do recover completely. Good luck. Loved ones around them helps a great deal.
you may be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
they're just Mute.
post traumatic stress perhaps?
Catatonic
Probaly just heart broken i guess.
Shock and bewilderment...............
that;s depression
dunno but thanks for the two points.
Probably a amix between Severe Depression and Post Traumatic Stress.
They could be catatonic. Only a trained professional can determine a diagnosis. If you are concerned try speaking with your primary care physician, and see if they can stare you in the right direction.
If you have an interest, go to the library and take out the DSM-IV, it gives definitions to several mental disorders.
It sounds like depression to me. I don't know if this person would be considered clinically depressed, because depression is a normal response when someone close to us passes on.
However, if it's been going on for a longer than the what's considered the "normal" grieving period, or if it's as severe as you describe, it might be a good idea to talk to a psychiatrist.
Hope this helps!
sounds like some sort of depression
SERIOUS GRIEF. GET HELP FOR THE PERSON.
It could be a major depression with catatonic features.
Mental retardation
