What Are The Common Symptoms Of Grief? Psychological and physical symptoms of grief can be all-encompassing, and grief can disrupt our normal way of functioning, explains Catherine Burnette, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the School of Social Work at Tulane University who specializes in mental health. “There is no one way that grief manifests itself,” she says. “ Just as people may express anger or frustration differently, grief is very individual as to when and how it surfaces.” Some psychological symptoms, according to Burnette, can include the following: Difficulty concentrating
Irritability
Sadness
Numbness
Anger
Anxiety
Disorientation because of the rapid change in life circumstances
Common physical symptoms, Burnette says, can include the following: Extreme exhaustion
Headaches
Getting sick
Not being able to eat or sleep normally
