What Is Adjustment Disorder?
9. What Are Possible Complications?
Most cases resolve within six months with or without therapy. However, it’s recommended that individuals receive therapy or other treatment options to prevent further complications. Typical complications include more serious and long-term mental health issues. These can include anxiety disorders, substance abuse or major depression.
Some complications arise from an inability to deal with stress in a healthy way. These include depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety disorders. Other complications can be the result of self-medication, such as substance abuse. Don’t let an individual suffer alone, but encourage anyone dealing with a difficult life experience to reach out for mental health assistance.
