Adjustment Disorder is a psychological condition
characterized by emotional and behavioral symptoms that develop in response to
a significant life stressor or change. These stressors can include changes in
relationships, work, school, health, or financial status. Unlike other mental
health disorders, Adjustment Disorder symptoms typically emerge within three
months of the stressful event and resolve within six months after the stressor
has ended. However, in some cases, symptoms may persist longer, leading to
chronic distress. Common symptoms include sadness, anxiety, irritability,
difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep or appetite, and social withdrawal.
Individuals with Adjustment Disorder may struggle to cope with the stressor and
may experience significant impairment in functioning at work, school, or in
relationships. Treatment for Adjustment Disorder often involves therapy, such
as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or supportive counseling, to help
individuals develop coping strategies and adapt to the stressor more
effectively. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms.
