Adjustment disorder is a group of symptoms, such as stress, feeling sad or hopeless, and physical symptoms that can occur after you go through a stressful life event. The symptoms occur because you are having a hard time coping. Your reaction is stronger than expected for the type of event that occurred. The predominant mood accompanying adjustment disorder (eg, depression or anxiety) is a major consideration for both pharmacologic and supportive treatments. For instance, clinicians should consider both psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy for patients who have adjustment disorder with depressed anxious mood.
