Mental Health Minute Adjustment Disorders Adjustment disorders are the result of identifiable stress situations that cause emotional or behavioral symptoms to develop within three months of the onset of the situation. They can be a reaction to life stresses such as divorce, death, job loss, moving, health problems, etc. Signs and Symptoms When these stressful experiences cause reactions of marked distress, which appears to be in excess of what would be expected, an adjustment disorder is likely. When the stress results in a substantial impact on an individualĀ“s ability to function in a social, occupational or educational setting, this also is a signal. Since this is usually a short-term disorder, once the stressful situation (or its consequences) has ended, the symptoms should disappear within six months.
