More Information
Grief can cause physical changes in the body, such as increased inflammation, which can lead to various health risks. Dr. Kuebler-Ross's stage theory has been influential but is not universally applicable to all grieving individuals.
Tips
A common error is to assume that grief universally lowers cortisol or neurotransmitter levels, whereas evidence often points to increased inflammation.
