Brief Summary: The primary research question in this study will ask among those receiving outpatient mental health services MHS at the Eastern Colorado Healthcare System ECHCSDenver Veterans Affairs Medical Center VAMC how many suffer from Prolonged Grief Disorder PGD Here it is hypothesized that PGD will occur within the sample A secondary aim of this study will be to investigate how often PGD co-occurs with posttraumatic stress disorder PTSD andor depression Also while PGD has been shown to have an effect on self-directed violence SDV among civilians Prigerson Bridge et al 1999 no studies yet have examined the relationship between PGD and SDV among Veterans Therefore it also is hypothesized that as PGD severity increases among the Veteran sample risk for SDV will increase as well Additional research aims also will be addressed in this study For one it will be assessed which grief symptoms are most often reported among the Veteran sample Also no study has yet to examine if there are neuropsychological differences between PGD and PTSD Therefore another research question here is whether PGD indeed is neuropsychologically different from PTSD Here the exploratory hypothesis is that PGD sufferers will respond to a measure of multiple components of cognition eg planning sequencing concentration multitasking and memory efficiency in a manner that is significantly different from PTSD sufferers
