Adjustment Disorders
Adjustment disorders are emotional or behavioral responses to a significant life change — divorce, job loss, moving, illness, or other stressors — that feel outsized or hard to move through. The reaction is real and valid, even when the trigger seems ‘manageable’ to others. Short-term, focused help works well.
Common Symptoms
- Depressed or anxious mood after a life change
- Feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope
- Withdrawing from others
- Difficulty concentrating
- Changes in sleep or appetite
- Impulsive or out-of-character behavior
How We Treat Adjustment Disorders
Adjustment difficulties respond well to focused, time-limited care: supportive psychotherapy, coping skills for the transition, and short-term medication support if symptoms are significant — with the goal of getting you through and stronger.
