Adjustment Disorder

Adjustment Disorder is a type of stress-related mental illness.  It is a short-term condition that occurs when a person has great struggle coping with, or adjusting to, a particular source of stress.  Some sources include marriage, divorce, starting school or staring a new job.  You may feel anxious or depressed and normal daily routines may feel overwhelming.  In essence, you have a hard time adjusting to change in your life, and it has serious consequences.
