Dysfunctional Grief Related to COVID-19 in Latin America

ABSTRACT

The characteristics associated with COVID-19-related dysfunctional grief suggest that we are most likely facing a "dysfunctional grief pandemic" due to COVID-19. Thus this preliminary study reports frequencies of dysfunctional grief in ten Latin American countries that varied between 7.3% in Brazil and 14.6% in El Salvador. This highlights a greater need for Latin American countries to work together to improve the accessibility of treatment for dysfunctional grief.
