About
Adjustment disorder is characterized by an excessive or prolonged reaction to a life event or stressor. These stressors could include events like losing a job, moving to a new place, experiencing a divorce, or facing financial difficulties. While everyone experiences stress in response to challenging situations, those with adjustment disorder find it difficult to cope, leading to disruptions in their daily functioning, relationships, and emotional well-being.
