Adjustment Disorders
Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially during periods of significant change. Adjustment disorders occur when an individual has a difficult time coping with or adjusting to a new life circumstance, often resulting in emotional or behavioral symptoms. At Mindful Meds Psychiatry and Wellness, we provide compassionate, tailored treatment to help individuals navigate these changes and regain a sense of balance and wellbeing.
Adjustment disorders can manifest differently depending on an individual’s response to stress. They are typically categorized as follows:
Characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It may resemble symptoms of depression but is directly linked to a specific life event.
Often includes excessive worry, nervousness, and anxiety. This type is common in children and adolescents but can affect adults as well.
Symptoms include a combination of both anxiety and depression, making it challenging for the person to handle stress effectively.
Individuals may exhibit both emotional and behavioral symptoms, such as feeling anxious or sad while also experiencing behavioral problems.
This type is more common in children and teens, leading to behavioral issues like aggression, defiance, or violating social norms in response to stress.
In cases where symptoms don’t clearly fit into the above categories, the disorder may be classified as unspecified, yet still requires appropriate support and care.
Symptoms of adjustment disorders generally appear within three months of a stressful event and vary from one person to another. Common signs include:
Recognizing these symptoms early and seeking support can prevent further mental health complications.
