Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adjustment disorders are characterized by experiencing emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to a stressor that is not as severe as in other mental health disorders. Normal transitional experiences, such as starting a new job, ending a relationship, or moving to a new location, can be stressful enough to cause an adjustment disorder. Highly unusual events and life-threatening events are more likely to result in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or acute stress disorder (ASD). Chronic physical disease can lead to other mental health disorders, such as depression or anxiety, but is not usually associated with adjustment disorders.
