As the name suggests, a change or an event in a person’s life causing stress and difficulty in coping leading to a behavioral or an emotional reaction is adjustment disorder. A significant change causes stress in any individual’s life but if you notice that even after a couple of months it is difficult for you to get over that problem, if it is difficult for your brain to adjust to the new normal then there is a high possibility that you have an adjustment disorder. Coping with stressful situations can lead to severe psychological and physical symptoms.
