What is Adjustment disorder?
'''Adjustment disorder''' happens when a person is unable to cope with or adjust to certain stressors. People who have adjustment disorder often have symptoms such as losing interest, [[sadness|being sad]], crying, [[anxiety|feeling anxious]] and constant worries. These symptoms are from outside stressors, although they resolve when individuals become used to the situations. The stressors may include, although are not limited to: [[tropical cyclone|hurricanes]], being abused, accidents and traumatic events. This problem can happen at any age. In adults, however, adult women are diagnosed almost twice as often as men.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newharbinger.com/psychsolve/adjustment-disorder |title=Adjustment Disorder |work=NewHarbinger.com |access-date=9 December 2013 |archive-date=10 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131210232943/http://www.newharbinger.com/psychsolve/adjustment-disorder |url-status=dead }}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} {{Medicine-stub}} [[Category:Mental illnesses]]
