What Is An Adjustment Disorder?
Sometimes, life throws us changes that are tough to handle. Adjusting to a new situation can feel overwhelming, but our providers at Mindfully Mended Psychiatry can help you when life becomes more than just a temporary struggle. An adjustment disorder happens when a person feels an amplified level of stress, sadness, or anxiety in response to a specific situation, such as moving to a new city, a job change, the end of a relationship, or even positive changes like a promotion. Adjustment disorders can appear in different forms, such as adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood, or adjustment disorder with anxiety alone. These different variations reflect the unique ways people experience this condition. If you or someone close to you are facing the challenges of an adjustment disorder, contact our knowledgeable team at our Burleson, TX practice for compassionate support. Mindfully Mended Psychiatry provides flexible treatment options with both in-person sessions and secure online platforms, allowing you to choose the format that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
How Do You Treat An Adjustment Disorder?
To manage adjustment disorders, our team focuses on providing you with the tools to cope with life's shifts and regain a sense of stability. A personalized treatment plan for an adjustment disorder may include talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and sometimes medication to address intense symptoms. CBT is a type of psychotherapy that helps identify and change adverse thought patterns and behaviors. Our goal is to help you improve your emotional well-being by developing personal coping strategies. Our treatment protocol for an adjustment disorder is goal-oriented as we help you navigate situations, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, manage future stressors, build resilience, and prevent lasting impacts from unresolved stress.
What Are the Symptoms of An Adjustment Disorder?
Symptoms of adjustment disorders can vary greatly, but they usually reflect a person's struggles with managing a major change. Symptoms may appear right after a life change, or sometimes they show up after a delay. When they do appear, symptoms are often intense and disruptive to daily life. Common symptoms include:
- Anxiety or worry about the recent change
- Sadness, hopelessness, or feeling low
- Withdrawal from social activities or avoidance of responsibilities
- Physical symptoms, like headaches, stomachaches, or general fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Irritability or mood swings that impact relationships
