Since the 1990s, a number of researchers have argued that intense forms of grief should be classified as a mental illness, saying that society tends to accept the suffering of bereaved people as natural and that it fails to steer them toward treatment that could help.
自 20 世纪 90 年代以来，许多研究人员主张，强烈的悲痛应该被归类为精神疾病。他们认为，社会通常相信，失去亲友的人们感受到痛苦是自然的，因此社会观念并不会引导这些人去接受可能有帮助的治疗。

In 2010, when the American Psychiatric Association proposed expanding the definition of depression to include grieving people, it provoked a backlash, feeding into a broader critique that mental health professionals were overdiagnosing and overmedicating patients.
2010 年，美国精神医学学会提议扩大抑郁症的定义，将因某人去世而悲痛的人也包含在内。这一提议引发了强烈的抵制，也影响到了一场覆盖面更广的批判——精神健康专业人员对患者过度诊断和过度用药。

The new diagnosis is a breakthrough for those who have argued, for years, that intensely grieving people need tailored treatment. Yet, others said they were wary of any expectation that grief should lift in a particular period of time.
对于那些多年来一直主张重度悲伤人群需要定制化治疗方案的人来说，这个新的诊断是一个突破。然而，其他人则表示，他们对所有“悲伤应该在一段时间内消失”的预期都保持谨慎的态度。
