Proponents of this change and of the proposed \u201ccomplicated grief\u201d designation believed that this change would help clinicians recognise major depression in the context of recent bereavement. Other researchers and clinicians have raised concerns about medicalising grief. In 2022 \u201cprolonged grief disorder\u201d (PGD) was officially included in the DSM\u20105\u2010TR in the trauma\u2010 and stressor\u2010related disorders section. Not surprisingly, there has been a push to identify biomarkers and to use neuroimaging to identify the neurobiological basis of PGD. Some researchers have even suggested that PGD is a \u2018reward circuit disorder\u2019 akin to addiction and that naltrexone, an opioid antagonist, may be a promising treatment. The purpose of this paper is to show how medicalising grief reinforces a research agenda dedicated to the search for pharmaceutical and psychological \u2018magic bullets.\u2019 Following George and Whitehouse (2021), we propose that an ecopsychosocial approach\u2014one that incorporates environmental and contextual factors\u2014is needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1467-9566.13866","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,28]],"date-time":"2024-11-28T07:49:23Z","timestamp":1732780163000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Iatrogenic Consequences of Medicalising Grief: Resetting the Research Agenda"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"47","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3702-4567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Gurley\u2010Green","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Massachusetts Counseling and Psychology BEAHR Lab  Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Cosgrove","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Massachusetts Counseling and Psychology BEAHR Lab  Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Milutin","family":"Kostic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Faculty of Medicine University of Belgrade  Beograd Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lauren","family":"Koa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Essex School of Health and Social Care Deputy Director of IPHW  Colchester UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9478-9932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susan","family":"McPherson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Massachusetts Counseling and Psychology BEAHR Lab  Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1980"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425787"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","volume-title":"The Broken Brain: The Biological Revolution in Psychiatry","author":"Andreasen N.
