Dear lybrate user. I can understand. loosing someone near and dear causes grief. Grief related depression is normal. Grief related depression also causes the same symptoms as in the case of acute depressive disorder. Grief related depression symptoms will be there for some days or even weeks. but beyond three months, you need to undergo depression related therapy and occupational therapy. Take care.

Dear lybrate user. Loosing someone or something very dear to you may cause grief and as per some studies grief may last even for longer times like 2 years. These studies have found that the void created by the loss may sometimes be found for as long as 2 years and intermittently you may fell lonely whenever you have the memories of that person. But if those periods are causing you severe impairments as to not allowing you to work with full efficiency or causing decreased social interactions as in your case, you may require help from a psychiatrist. Kindly get help and get your full assessment done so as to decide the further line of management. Take care.
