Adjustment Disorder is a stress-related condition that occurs when you find it hard to cope with or adjust to a major life change or stressful event.
It’s a short-term mental health condition but can deeply impact daily life, relationships, and self-esteem.
At La Mente – The Mind Clinic, we specialize in helping individuals manage emotional distress, adapt to new circumstances, and rebuild confidence through personalized therapy and medical care.
Adjustment Disorder can develop after various life events, such as:
Loss of a loved one or breakup
Job loss, relocation, or retirement
Marital problems or divorce
Financial difficulties or academic failure
Serious illness or accident
Even positive changes, like marriage or becoming a parent, can sometimes trigger emotional overwhelm.
Our psychiatrists in Hyderabad help you identify, understand, and manage these reactions in a safe and supportive space.
Our psychiatrists perform a thorough assessment to differentiate adjustment disorder from other mental health issues such as depression or anxiety disorders.
Diagnosis involves:
Detailed clinical interview
Stress and coping assessment
Screening for co-occurring conditions
We ensure a confidential, compassionate environment for all evaluations.
