“…In a series of factor analytic investigations, researchers were able to differentiate a grief-specific symptom factor from bereavement-related depression (Boelen & Prigerson, 2007;Dillen et al, 2009). Substantial associations between PGD and depression have been reported (Boelen, 2011;McCarthy et al, 2010;Schaal, Elbert, & Neuner, 2009).…”

Prolonged Grief Disorder and Depression in a German Community Sample

The aims of this study were to examine rates and risk factors for prolonged grief and to investigate the association between prolonged grief and depression. The authors interviewed a heterogeneous bereaved sample of 61 Germans, 6 of whom had prolonged grief and depression, respectively. The 2 syndromes were strongly linked to one another. Risk factors for prolonged grief were being a woman and having high levels of religious beliefs and low levels of satisfaction with one's religious beliefs, emotional closeness to the deceased, and unanticipated loss. Symptoms of prolonged grief may endure years postloss and often overlap with depression.

“…Children are instructed to rate each statement on a 4-point frequency scale ranging from 0 (never) to 3 (always), adopting a time frame of 2 weeks. In the present sample, the Dutch translation of the BYDI [33] was used and high internal consistencies were found at all measurement occasions (a's = .93, .94, and .95 at T1, T2, and T3 respectively).…”

The tripartite model (in Clark and Watson, J Abnorm Psychol 100:316-336, 1991) comprises Negative Affect (NA), Positive Affect (PA), and Physiological Hyperarousal (PH), three temperamental-based dimensions. The current study examined the tripartite model's assumptions that (a) NA interacts with PA to predict subsequent depressive (but not anxiety) symptom developments and (b) NA interacts with PH to predict subsequent anxiety (but not depressive) symptom developments in a sample of 243 community and referred children and adolescents (42.8% boys; M age = 10.87 years, SD = 1.83). Results confirmed that individuals with a combined high NA/low PA profile display the least favorable course of depressive -but not anxiety- symptoms. In contrast with the model, the combination of NA and PH influenced the development of depression, but not anxiety. Relations were not moderated by sex or sample. Results revealed that the assessment of the tripartite components is warranted as it can help to identify children at risk for an unfavorable depressive symptom course.

“…Although traditional theories of the transition process of grief assume normal changes in patterns of grief over time, recent studies have argued that bereaved individuals may exhibit individual differences in grief over time and presented different and meaningful trajectory groups based on their samples, suggesting different risks to be associated with trajectory membership. An important theoretical limitation of these findings is that most studies have examined trajectories of depressive symptoms of bereaved individuals, whereas some have found that, as a construct, grief is distinct from other psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety [1][2][3][4][5] . As shown in Table 1, previous studies have identified several different trajectories for each sample, demonstrating differences in changes in depression over time, and most of the trajectory membership can be characterized by low levels of depression over time such that only a small proportion can be characterized as high-depression trajectory groups.…”

-Background and Objectives:In the discussion of apparent similarities between symptoms of grief and depression, research and theory have often confounded these two constructs because, as a construct, grief is distinct from depression and because these two constructs may have distinct trajectories. This study examines the trajectories of complicated grief and associated risks and the relationship between trajectories of complicated grief and depression.Design: Longitudinal. Setting: Intervention methods for enhancing family caregiving for persons with dementia. Participants: A total of 221 participants of the Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Caregiver Health project.Measurement: The Inventory of Complicated Grief. Results:The results based on group-based mixture modeling identify two distinct trajectories of grief (persistently high and low) and three distinct trajectories of depression (persistently high, moderate, and low). There were significant differences between the proportion of grief trajectory membership and that of depression trajectory membership, indicating distinct patterns over time.Conclusions: Noteworthy is the significant difference between the proportion of grief trajectory membership and that of depression trajectory membership, indicating differences in distinct patterns over time.
