Am I depressed or grieving?
I have experienced severe depression, with associate PTSD, since I was very young. My question is: How can I tell the difference between my depression and areas where I am may be grieving? I look at many losses in my life, including ,my husband of 28 years. He is facing a terminal illness. I used to be the recipient of caregiving, but now am the caregiver. Where does my illness (bi-polar depression, PTSD) stop and grieving begin?

Caregivers are prone to depression due to the many stresses. If you have experienced depression in the past, this situation is undoubtedly going to set you up to be depressed again.
