Many people agree: that an adjustment disorder means something temporary: often 6 months is the acknowledged temporary time frame with or without Rx. So since you acknowledge the self-harming behavior has continued for two years, other diagnoses come into play including borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and eating disorders.
