Adjustment Disorders
What are Adjustment Disorders?
Adjustment disorders are stress-related conditions. When Veterans, Medical Professionals, and First Responders experience more stress than normal in response to a stressful or unexpected event they may be struggling with an Adjustment Disorder. This overwhelming amount of stress causes significant problems in relationships, at work or at school.
Issues at work, going away to school, moving, an illness, death of a close family member or any number of life changes can cause excessive stress. Most of the time, Veterans, Medical Professionals, and First Responders adjust to such changes within a few months. But if they have an adjustment disorder, they continue to have emotional or behavioral reactions that can contribute to feeling more anxious or depressed.
The best part is you don’t have to tough it out on your own, though. As a member of the VA Community Care Network, Our Veterans Rehab Centers help you regain your emotional footing.

When To Get Help with Adjustment Disorders
When to Get Help With Adjustment Disorders:
Usually stressors are temporary, and we learn to cope with them over time. Symptoms of adjustment disorder get better because the stress has eased. But sometimes the stressful event remains a part of their life. Or a new stressful situation comes up, and they face the same emotional struggles all over again. Being trapped in this cycle is debilitating.
