Have you found yourself experiencing difficulties with your mental health recently? Maybe you’ve noticed a shift in your mood, energy levels, or ability to concentrate. If so, we encourage you to review the treatment options available with A Mission For Michael Mental Health Treatment Centers. We provide comprehensive residential care in California, Washington, and Virginia.
We provide treatment for a range of mental health conditions, including adjustment disorders and dual diagnosis conditions. Mental health difficulties can affect various areas of your life, which can create complex treatment needs. At AMFM, our admission counselors take time to review your treatment needs to ensure that we provide you with the support you need to improve your quality of life. This page will focus on providing you with an in-depth understanding of adjustment disorder symptoms, and evidence-based treatments that can support you in your recovery.
Adjustment disorders, or stress response syndrome, are mental health conditions that are triggered by stressful life changes and events. These changes can be expected, or unexpected. They can cause emotional and behavioral symptoms that affect your overall level of functioning. This includes sadness, anxiety, and difficulty coping with distress.
Many find that their reactions are more intense when they’re living with an adjustment disorder. You may find that your symptoms affect your work, schooling, and relationships. The key difference with an adjustment disorder is that you continue to experience psychological distress after some time, most would adjust to the stressor or change in their life. Thankfully, there is hope. With the right treatment and support, you can work to adjust to the changes in your life and learn to effectively cope with the challenges that are contributing to your hardships.
Adjustment disorders can increase the presence of anxiety symptoms, which brings us to our next point of differentiating the two. Anxiety disorders can range in symptoms, severities, and triggers that contribute to emotional distress. Adjustment disorders can result from life transition stress or a major stressor in life.
Another key difference is that those living with an adjustment disorder often experience emotional adjustment and symptom reduction as they adapt to the change or the stressor is removed. Those living with an anxiety disorder can experience persistent worry and fear, even when they know their reactions are out of the norm. Additionally, there are notable differences in treatment approaches for anxiety disorders and adjustment disorders, including which medications and therapeutic approaches are used.
Several types of adjustment disorders vary due to the stressors and symptoms that you’ve experienced. A common thread among them all is that they include behavioral and emotional reactions, which cause some form of difficulty in your life. Adjustment disorders can be triggered by several situations, which we will review momentarily.
Examples of varying types of adjustment disorder include:
Adjustment disorder symptoms can last for up to six months after the stressor or life change that you experienced. Many find that the symptoms associated with their stress disorder resolve as they adapt to the new changes in their life.
There are cases where individuals experience continued or recurring stressors, which contributes to the presence of longer distress. Treatment can be used to address your emotional distress and help with coping difficulties that you’re experiencing.
Those who are living with an adjustment disorder can experience a range of challenges. Your emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms. These symptoms can affect your work performance, relationships, and your overall functioning. When left untreated, you may find that your symptoms continue for a longer duration, developing into a chronic stress disorder.
You may find yourself struggling with mood swings and irritability, or developing anxiety, depression, and other co-occurring disorders. Co-occurring disorders and adjustment disorders often require complex care within a recovery center, which can include the use of additional therapies and more intensive approaches.
Adjustment disorder assessments are free with A Mission From Michael. This is a valuable resource for those who are unsure which treatment program would be ideal for them and their symptoms. It can be difficult to determine which program is right for you without professional guidance, even for those who have received treatment previously.
Providers who charge for adjustment assessments can vary in price. If your assessment is worked into an individual therapy session, you may pay between $100 and $200 dollars. Specialty assessments can cost more due to the experience of the therapist and the assessment tools they use.
Adjustment disorder symptoms can be triggered by a significant change in your life or a very stressful event. This can include major life transitions, significant relationship changes, and financial changes. Individuals who have a history of trauma, limited social support, and struggle with resiliency may be at a higher risk of developing an adjustment disorder.
As a mental health disorder triggered by life changes, it is important to remember that individual differences have a significant role in the development of this condition. Those who are more sensitive to change may be more likely to develop an adjustment disorder. Treatment can help you address your acute stress reaction, helping you move forward in your journey.
The symptoms that you experience with an adjustment disorder will depend on your situation. As an example, you may experience different symptoms for grief and loss adjustment than you may for chronic stress disorder. Adjustment disorders often contribute to a range of emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms, including:
You may find a healthcare facility that offers adjustment disorder medications in your area. This can be helpful for those who are experiencing short-term depression symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and heightened anxiety or worry. Commonly used medications include antidepressants and antianxiety medications for short-term support.
Depending on your symptoms, your healthcare provider may provide you with a prescription for Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) or benzodiazepines. In many cases, medications are used in addition to psychotherapy to enhance the effects of your treatment and provide comprehensive care.
At A Mission For Michael, you can expect personalized and holistic care within a residential treatment facility.

These sessions give you one-on-one time with a therapist to focus on your specific emotional and behavioral symptoms. You can use these sessions to work through your challenges and focus on building resilience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a commonly used therapeutic approach. You can learn to focus on your negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to your emotional distress and reshape these responses. This approach can be impactful for those experiencing anxiety, depression, and significant stress.

Medications can be used to manage stress-induced depression and anxiety and provide short-term relief. Commonly used medications include SSRIs and antianxiety medications that can help stabilize mood symptoms.
Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) is a psychodynamic therapeutic approach that focuses on exploring your relationship patterns and emotional responses. You’ll spend time exploring how your past relationships affect your current stressors, and focus on developing healthier ways to manage your emotional distress.
Group therapy can provide you with an opportunity to connect with others who have had similar mental health challenges as you. This can be validating and rewarding for many. Family therapy can focus on family or relationship stress disorder, helping you and your loved ones improve communication patterns and reduce shared stressors.
Skill building is a common focus within an integrative treatment center. This can include learning to manage daily tasks and maintaining your overall well-being with the use of emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
