If you’re someone who has noticed shifts in your mood, sleep, or behavior then this adjustment disorder test is designed to help you identify some of the signs and symptoms that often occur in response to stressful events.
So let’s take a helpful first step toward understanding your mental health.
What Is Adjustment Disorder?
According to WebMD, Adjustment disorder, is also referred to as stress response syndrome. It is a mental health condition that occurs when someone is facing difficulty in adjusting to a significant change in life or experiencing extreme stress.
These can include events such as job loss, break up, moving, critical illness, or any major life transition. And because many of the symptoms overlap with depression, it’s also sometimes known as “situational depression.”
Some of the common adjustment disorder symptoms include:
Persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness
Loss of interest in daily activities
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
Physical symptoms like heart palpitations or fatigue
Increased irritability, anxiety, or worry
Engaging in impulsive or reckless behavior
Thoughts of self-harm or substance use as a coping mechanism
These symptoms typically develop within three months of the triggering event and usually resolve within six months after the stressor ends. However, if left unaddressed, they can interfere with your ability to function in daily life.
