Mental Health Symptoms

Adjustment Disorder

Adjustment Disorder

The development of emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to an identifiable stressor occurring within 3 months of the onset of the stressor.

Symptoms: Depressed mood, anxious, regularly acting out of the ordinary. May be experiencing sleep and sexual difficulties.

The symptoms would be significant if:

the noted distress is in excess of what would normally be expected from exposure to the stressor; or

there's significant impairment in social or job functioning; and

the stress-related disturbance is not the result of another clinical disorder or a result of Mental Retardation or Personality Disorder and the person is not experiencing bereavement.

Please remember, this is an adult symptom list, and does not take the place of a professional's evaluation.

Would You Share Something That You Are Grateful For?

When I was beginning my personal growth journey, a wise person told me that when I was feeling resentful or afraid or sad, that I should remember the phrase "gratitude is the attitude" when I was ready to feel better. That phrase has helped me feel better tens of thousands of times.

Would you share what you are most grateful for? Your story could be just what another person is searching for to renew themselves? Thanks.
