Clinical Information
- Adjustment disorders are a group of conditions wherein one has an emotional/behavioral reaction to a stressful event, such as being fired from work, a change in a relationship, or the death of a loved one. Though adjustment disorders are diagnosed primarily in children and adolescents, adults may also be affected by the disorder.

One may experience more specific symptoms of hopelessness, lack of concentration, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, fatigue, indigestion, insomnia, body pain, and involuntary twitching or trembling.
- Mental health professionals are usually the ones who diagnose adjustment disorders. To diagnose, they will do a psychiatric evaluation and interview the patient and their loved ones, especially if the patient is young.
