What Is Adjustment Disorder?
4. What Symptoms Are Related to Adjustment Disorder?
Look for a range of symptoms related to anxiety, depression and difficulties dealing with stress. Many of the symptoms of adjustment disorder are extreme versions of typical responses to stressful life situations. Look for signs of hopeless feelings, social withdrawal, crying or other feelings of depression. Anxious signs include twitching, trembling, or acting tense or nervous. For some individuals, acts of defiance and impulsive behaviors can be linked to this disorder.
These symptoms range dramatically in severity. Not all individuals experience every symptom, so look any one of these symptoms that is severe enough to affect a person’s work or social life. Most symptoms are emotional, though some individuals report feelings of skipping heartbeats and other physical issues.
