A member asked:

What to do if my therapists said i have an adjustment disorder. i never heard of adjustment disorder before. what is adjustment disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Adjustment disorder?: An adjustment disorder occurs when unable to adjust to or cope with a particular stressor, like a major life event. Among the psychological diagnoses, it's like a "sniffle", rather than psychosis, which might be like "pneumonia." simple relaxation exercises, stress management, and supportive therapy help a lot. Don't let the diagnosis cause more anxiety than what you are already dealing with!
