Adjustment disorder is a common yet often misunderstood mental health condition. It occurs when a person struggles to cope with a significant life change or stressful event. This difficulty in adjusting can lead to emotional and behavioral symptoms that interfere with daily life. If you or someone you know is facing challenges after a major change, understanding adjustment disorder can be the first step toward healing. Adjustment disorder is not a sign of weakness or failure.
