Adjustment disorders - what does this mean
Adjustment disorders are a type of stress-related disorder that occur when an individual is unable to cope with or adjust to a particular life stressor. symptoms may include difficulty sleeping, low mood, difficulty concentrating, and physical symptoms such as headaches or stomach aches. treatment may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, medications, or both.
What happens during the disease - adjustment disorders
Adjustment disorders are psychological conditions that occur when an individual experiences difficulty adapting to a particular life event or stressor. this can lead to a range of symptoms including depression, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. the underlying pathogenesis is thought to involve a maladaptive stress response, which can lead to changes in the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, resulting in an altered production of hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. this can lead to further changes in the brain, such as increased activity in the amygdala, which can lead to the development of symptoms associated with adjustment disorders.
